The Jingoistic States of Nordeld is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 5.052 billion Nordeld 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 Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 36.2%.

The Nordeld economy, worth 207 trillion kronor a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 41,034 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for lion sacrifices, the entire entry for Nordeld in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', and holiday light displays just aren't the same without seizure-inducing strobe effects. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordeld's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
