The Republic of Norrho is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Victoria Mottram with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.984 billion Norrhans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dalboe. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norrhan economy, worth a remarkable 1,404 trillion doubloons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 201,134 doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, skateparks can be found in every city, President Victoria Mottram's luxurious new home has been designated as a protected cultural heritage site, and foreign planes and migratory birds are shot down as spies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norrho's national animal is the cobalt eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Norrho is ranked 8,522^nd in the world and 98^th in the Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 10,214.53 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
