The Conflicted Territories of Nafgarlund is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Overseer Stahlheim with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed population of 6.128 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and the Environment are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asgard. The average income tax rate is 98%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry.

Calling out of the blue has become taboo, graffiti artists spend lengthy periods of time in jail, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Nafgarlund's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Norse Paganism, and its currency is the Mach.

Nafgarlund is ranked 7th in One big Island and 4,867th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 8 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
