The Grand Duchy of Noordeinde is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Jonathan Roosevelt with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 6.893 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Hague. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Information Technology.

Schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, euthanasia is legal, and a punitive tax has been placed on harmful emissions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noordeinde's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Guilder.

Noordeinde is ranked 1,277th in Europeia and 98,846th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -34 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
