The Uralic Kingdom of Nordivia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Tsar Anselmi IX with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.812 billion Nordivians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Rovaniemi. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Nordivian economy, worth 139 trillion Reos 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 Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 49,619 Reos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has an odd policy of calling snap elections at its lowest ebb of popularity, the nation is regarded as a paragon of democracy, praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, and prolonged government investigations are a common revenge tactic among spurned significant others. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordivia's national animal is the Wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Suomenusko.

Nordivia is ranked 56,032^nd in the world and 611^th in Europe for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
