The Free Land of Nord Botten is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate population of 20.731 billion Nord Bottenians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norden. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Nord Bottenian economy, worth a remarkable 3,990 trillion marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 192,487 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Fidgety cubicle workers play with their balls, raccoons are plump and satiated, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and new safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Nord Botten to be bombproof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nord Botten's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nord Botten is ranked 319,723^rd in the world and 183^rd in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.43 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
