The Submarine of HNoMS Utstein is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kyorgia Kyosson-Vonimof with an even hand, and remarkable for its ban on automobiles, zero percent divorce rate, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed, devout population of 22.803 billion HNoMS Utsteinians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 35.5%.

The HNoMS Utsteinian economy, worth a remarkable 1,853 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 81,297 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, serial killers are the country's biggest import, and the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. HNoMS Utstein's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Den Norske Kirke.

HNoMS Utstein is ranked 182,917^th in the world and 887^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Developed, scoring 53.39 on the Human Development Index.
