The Dominion of Nordame is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lady Due North with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.721 billion Nordameans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Polaris. The average income tax rate is 81.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nordamean economy, worth 234 trillion trites a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 136,432 trites, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, surrealist houses shaped like mushrooms and volcanoes dominate the wealthiest neighborhoods, every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Nordamean, and the country is rumored to be a Brancalandian puppet state. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordame's national animal is the little owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nordame is ranked 7,016^th in the world and 645^th in The North Pacific for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 54.48 Bank.
