The Socialist Democracy of ECC Norway is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Gordon Brown with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.182 billion Norwegians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 88.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norwegian economy, worth 142 trillion Norwegian Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 120,349 Norwegian Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Oslo to enjoy their national art, the question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, and the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ECC Norway's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is What ever you want.

ECC Norway is ranked 18,312^th in the world and 460^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 294.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
