The Armed Republic of Nu-Normandy is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its disturbing lack of elderly people, hatred of cheese, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.298 billion Nu-Normandyians 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, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Nu-Normandyian economy, worth 230 trillion Nukes 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 177,604 Nukes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, activists sabotage clean energy in the name of the environment, understaffed slavers offer highballs when asked to 'pass the screwdriver' during household maintenance, and a law degree is required before telling people not to drink and drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nu-Normandy's national animal is the Nuke, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nu-Normandy is ranked 15,966^th in the world and 11^th in The Great Monarchical Nations for Highest Average Incomes, with 177,604.8 Standard Monetary Units.
