The Republic of Normadon is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by President Valan Burischa with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.553 billion Normadons 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Niscua. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.4%.

The all-consuming Normadon economy, worth a remarkable 1,074 trillion Normadon Ronners a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 101,812 Normadon Ronners, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Blood donations have been banned because of the risk of eternal unrest, companies are turning to trained Blue Leopards for their most menial jobs, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and hell is not always other people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Normadon's national animal is the Blue Leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Secularism.

Normadon is ranked 103,420^th in the world and 62^nd in Aceon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,213.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
