The Commonwealth of Nordic Royal State is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Odin von Jutland with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 4.436 billion Norse are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konstantinopel. The average income tax rate is 72.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nordic economy, worth 612 trillion Nordic Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 138,008 Nordic Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The freedom to be free is always just out of reach, a niche industry catering to S&M enthusiasts has sprung up, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, and multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordic Royal State's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Protestantism.

Nordic Royal State is ranked 31,927^th in the world and 432^nd in Europe for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 96.89 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
