The Blazing Borderlands of Norfairdepths is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ridley with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 40.19 billion Norfairdepthsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ridley's Lair. The average income tax rate is 72.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norfairdepthsian economy, worth a remarkable 7,607 trillion Squeepts 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Book Publishing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Gambling. 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 an impressive 189,293 Squeepts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Digital novelty coins make for surprising vanguards of the revolution, politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, the nation's countrysides are littered with landmines due to ongoing family disputes, and pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Norfairdepths's national animal is the Crocomire, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Space Piracy.

Norfairdepths is ranked 184,648th in the world and 4,409th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 71.84139846592 days.
