The Free Land of Norma drepauland is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 247 million Norma drepaulandians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Norma drepaulandian economy, worth 6.47 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,203 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read, academics have a bone to pick with free market entrepreneurs, stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor, and party-lovers often change religions just for the weekend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norma drepauland's national animal is the monkey.

Norma drepauland is ranked 207,907^th in the world and 105^th in Benigtopia for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 30.68 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
