Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The People's Gordon Brown of South Norwega is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Gordon Brown with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.53 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gordon Brownopolis. The average income tax rate is 63%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture industries.

People are now classified as male, female, or genderqueer, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy". Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. South Norwega's national animal is the Gordooonooothoooon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Gordon Brownism, and its currency is the Gordon.

South Norwega is ranked 15th in Equilism and 5,634th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 7 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
