The Confederacy of Norholm2 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Jedious Denobi with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 18.853 billion Norholmians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Q City. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Norholmian economy, worth 563 trillion Coins 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 29,873 Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, government workers are more efficient and more unhappy than ever, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and foreign policy is mostly just to smile and hope for the best. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norholm2's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jediism.

Norholm2 is ranked 229,975^th in the world and 5^th in Europea for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -4.27 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
