The Maritime Kingdom of Nortelleve is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Danzig Calhoun with an even hand, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.362 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with the Environment, although Education and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gorand. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Women earn less than half the salary of men if they can even find a job, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, vanity is considered the eighth cardinal virtue, and Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nortelleve's national animal is the red fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Roman Catholicism, and its currency is the coret.

Nortelleve is ranked 2,076th in 10000 Islands and 100,646th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -48 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
