The Corporated Kingdom of Upper Finnmark is a mammoth, cultured nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.061 billion Upper Finnmarkians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Defense, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trondørgen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Upper Finnmarkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,726 trillion Finnar Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 190,590 Finnar Kroner, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 714,982 per year while the poor average 35,505, a ratio of 20.1 to 1.

Government contracted tax collectors often 'accidentally' over-charge citizens and skim the surplus, foreign ambassadors closely guard their culinary secrets, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, and genetic researchers have been expelled. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Upper Finnmark's national animal is the Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Lutheran Christianity.

Upper Finnmark is ranked 327,549th in the world and 29th in Testregionia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -14.42 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
