The Free Land of Nord Botten is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 8.796 billion Nord Bottenians 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.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norden. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Nord Bottenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,640 trillion marks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 186,554 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, island residents must resort to canoes and sailboats to get to work, couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', and Nord Bottenians believe manners maketh the leader. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nord Botten's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nord Botten is ranked 5,476^th in the world and 218^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 4,329.12 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
