The Republic of Normadon is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Ronalds with a fair hand, and renowned for its otherworldly petting zoo, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.414 billion Normadons are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Normadon City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Normadon economy, worth 843 trillion Normadon Ronners a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 100,269 Normadon Ronners, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 457,496 per year while the poor average 13,406, a ratio of 34.1 to 1.

Bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls, commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year, the Normadon Mental Asylum Party have recently won seats in parliament, and calling tech support mid-shootout is a common occurrence. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force. Normadon's national animal is the Polar Fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cyanism.

Normadon is ranked 196,254th in the world and 289th in Concord for Most Stationary, with 52.66516073872 days.
