The Republic of Norfespayh is a colossal, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, infamous sell-swords, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 6.814 billion Norfespayhians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 80.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Norfespayhian economy, worth 883 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 129,720 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 408,069 per year while the poor average 31,551, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

The government is buying children's books by the thousands, the Super-Spud Cinematic Universe is breaking box office records, fast-food chefs regularly win Health Innovation Awards for spitting on burgers, and home renovation projects take decades to complete. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norfespayh's national animal is the Python, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Norfespayh is ranked 287,609^th in the world and 1,510^th in Two for Most Armed, with 0.13 weapons per person.
