The Ĉiamverdaj Pakto-Teritorioj of Norfolk-in-Esva is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Miguel Tomás Balacua with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.749 billion Norfolkites are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Charlottechurch. The average income tax rate is 57.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Norfolkite economy, worth 184 trillion Spesmiloj a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 105,674 Spesmiloj, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Where your food came from is an unknowable mystery, truck drivers turn their engines off and coast whenever they're going downhill, Norfolkite watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, and the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty". Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Norfolk-in-Esva's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Diismo.
Norfolk-in-Esva is ranked 284,067th in the world and 23rd in Esvanovia for Safest, scoring 3.64 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
