The Commonwealth of Norfolkius is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning Norfolk Patrick Starfish population. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.41 billion Norfolkians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norfient. The average income tax rate is 18.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Norfolkian economy, worth 110 trillion Nrs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 77,659 Nrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, manufacturers of biodegradable plastics have to wait for months to show evidence of organic decomposition, and the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Norfient. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Norfolkius's national animal is the Norfolk Patrick Starfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Islam.

Norfolkius is ranked 33,491^st in the world and 145^th in Carcassonne for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.02 percentage of bribes refused.
