The United Socialist States of Nordic Democratic Republic is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Eleise Birchwood with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 7.45 billion Nordics enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Leningrad. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Nordic economy, worth a remarkable 1,245 trillion Nordic Kroners a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 167,191 Nordic Kroners, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's never a spare chair in the retirement home, people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, and employers are keenest on employees who lack family values. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordic Democratic Republic's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Åsatro.

Nordic Democratic Republic is ranked 5,007^th in the world and 3^rd in Northern Utopia for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 4,502.42 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
