The Kingdom of Norfland is a huge, efficient nation, ruled by Queen Ligeia XIII with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 946 million Norfmen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Usher. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Norfish economy, worth 137 trillion Urodas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 145,195 Urodas, with the richest citizens earning 9.7 times as much as the poorest.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, the sun now sets on the Norfish Empire, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norfland's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Norfland is ranked 56,702nd in the world and 624th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
