The Queendom of Nordhap is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 733 million Nordhapians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Glacaria. The average income tax rate is 76.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nordhapian economy, worth 30.6 trillion frostokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery. Average income is 41,736 frostokens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

According to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color, the government tries to improve relations with hostile countries by sending gift baskets, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordhap's national animal is the Yeti, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nordhap is ranked 311,119^th in the world and 1,071^st in The Frontier Sea for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -10.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
