The Federation of Nordrune is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jill yavonovich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.883 billion Nords 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Blacksun. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nordrunean economy, worth 278 trillion Runes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,006 Runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The annual Adult Film Awards have a category for most titillating aftershave advert, there is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Nordrunean military, young people never forget their first roommate — no matter how much counselling they have, and the "war on terror" doesn't seem to be making Nords any less frightened. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordrune's national animal is the Arctic fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Nationalist Witchs of Nordrune.

Nordrune is ranked 256,015th in the world and 4,531st in the South Pacific for Most Average, scoring 25.01 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
