The Betrygge Rāvenriket of Nordustra is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Madalenja Martins Macedo with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.32 billion Nōrdustrāns are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nattfáravik. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Nordustran economy, worth a remarkable 1,820 trillion krystils a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 176,434 krystils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom, judicial torture is outsourced overseas, there is a growing belief that mothers love their children more than fathers, and the right school tie opens more doors than the right qualification. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Nordustra's national animal is the five-legged ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Fáuna-Spiritism.

Nordustra is ranked 324,725^th in the world and 245^th in Forest for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -12.59 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
