The Borderlands of Nors Aur is a massive, safe nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, disturbing lack of elderly people, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical, devout population of 1.463 billion Nors Aurians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 46.7%.

The thriving Nors Aurian economy, worth 116 trillion rubles a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 79,581 rubles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Jennifer Government is banned, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, patriots insist that size does matter, and the nation's mettle is about to be tested. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nors Aur's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nors Aur is ranked 220,867^th in the world and 8,229^th in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 10.28 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
