The Kingdom of Norway is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Jens Stoltenberg with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.859 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 24%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Soda Sales industry, followed by Furniture Restoration and Book Publishing.

Norway's fine wines are renowned throughout the region, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, gambling addicts regularly lose their families' nest eggs at Native Norwayite casinos, and a government program is underway to revitalize Norway's beaches. Crime is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Norway's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Krone.

Norway is ranked 54th in Pelononia and 52,712th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 127 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
