The Federation of Nordan is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Maximilian Nordus with a fair hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 11.763 billion Nordanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nordan City. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nordanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,584 trillion Nordan Lyras a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,734 Nordan Lyras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maximilian Nordus steals from the rich and gives to the needy, Nordanian diplomacy is by the book, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and Nordanians seem to be catching more chills. Crime is totally unknown. Nordan's national animal is the Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.

Nordan is ranked 15,122^nd in the world and 1^st in Nordanstan for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.06 law-abiding acts per hour.
