The Republic of Norrho is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Victoria Mottram with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.018 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 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norrhan economy, worth a remarkable 1,410 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 201,032 doubloons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

It's a marvellous night for a moon dance as the sparks on your home start to rise, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. 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 30,490th in the world and 604th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 108.82 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
