The Elixian State of Norcourt is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Volus Valorrius Harkearean with an iron fist, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 15.63 billion Norcourtians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norcourtia. The average income tax rate is 91.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Norcourtian economy, worth a remarkable 2,612 trillion Kades a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 167,153 Kades, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.
Student exchange programs are in trouble as everyone wants to leave but no-one wants to come, foreign lack of enthusiasm for Norcourtian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli, financial investors are noting a boom in artillery, and owning a tractor is widely regarded as an essential prerequisite to most government positions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norcourt's national animal is the Ulca, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is The Elixian Code.
Norcourt is ranked 175,270th in the world and 3,664th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 88.8226167646 days.
