The United Kingdoms of Norgsveldet is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Johanna Sverdrup with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 12.298 billion Norgsveldetians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Osfjord. The average income tax rate is 79.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norgsveldetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,788 trillion United Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 145,416 United Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, war criminals are given full state funerals, withdrawal of support for drug addicts is leaving many with cold sweats, and children seem to be getting better at lying these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norgsveldet's national animal is the Norse Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Asatru.

Norgsveldet is ranked 17,075^th in the world and 445^th in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,137.4 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
