The Grand Duchy of GrosseresNordland is a massive, safe nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.007 billion Nordlanders 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 41.4%.

The Nordlandic economy, worth 50.5 trillion NordMarks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 50,188 NordMarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nose plugs are the latest Nordlandic fashion accessory, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, a dictator has seized power and outlawed elections, and every workday begins with group therapy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. GrosseresNordland's national animal is the Norden Black Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

GrosseresNordland is ranked 98,532^nd in the world and 12^th in Universal Pact for Most Developed, scoring 57.19 on the Human Development Index.
