The Fiefdom of Noroxia is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.36 billion Noroxians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 23.9%.

The strong Noroxian economy, worth 201 trillion Skjölls a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 60,025 Skjölls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

It's illegal to blow things up, life expectancy is way down but posthuman perfectionism is way up, the nation's "surprisingly chill" military is renowned for its horrendous war crimes, and the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Noroxia's national animal is the Black-Hide Woolly Mammoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Noroxia is ranked 263,208^th in the world and 9^th in The Realm of Varangia for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 11.32 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
