The Empire of Normianm Empire is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Norm III with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 7.879 billion Normianms 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 Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City Of Norman. The average income tax rate is 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Normianm Empirean economy, worth 799 trillion Reiches a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 101,484 Reiches, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, street preachers spend more time condemning government bureaucracy than passers-by, school nurse's offices feature full-service operating suites, and all you have to do is pray to get into Normianm Empire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Normianm Empire's national animal is the Normianm bison, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Normianm Empire is ranked 33,034^th in the world and 40^th in Lands End for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,996.29 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
