The Republic of Nord20 is a massive, genial nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 2.945 billion Nord20ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 55.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nord20ian economy, worth 204 trillion asds a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,352 asds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, and wedding bands come in pairs to form wedding manacles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nord20's national animal is the dasfg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nord20 is ranked 149,462^nd in the world and 5,842^nd in Osiris for Largest Populations, with 2.94 billion capita.
