The Free Land of New Nordica is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Lögsögumaðr Differential Engine with an even hand, and remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, sprawling nuclear power plants, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 26.436 billion New Nordicans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Public Transport, and Education are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Þjóðveldið. Income tax is unheard of.

The powerhouse New Nordican economy, worth a remarkable 4,511 trillion Golden Kronurs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 170,667 Golden Kronurs, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,053,288 per year while the poor average 12,000, a ratio of 87.8 to 1.

Citizens are bleary-eyed after staying up all night with a good book (New Nordica has found 5 easter eggs), the flesh-eating lost souls that wander at night serve as a major tourist attraction (New Nordica has found 5 easter eggs), the country is littered with broken homes, and what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans. Crime is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. New Nordica's national animal is the Puffin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

New Nordica is ranked 142,289th in the world and 2,672nd in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 194.87552111292 days.
