The Betrygge Rāvenriket of Nordustra is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Kaj Finesnes-Sjælvársson with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.171 billion Nōrdustrāns 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nattfáravík. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nordustran economy, worth 134 trillion Krystils a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,268 Krystils, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, formerly internationally exported goods are now given away for free, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, and diminutive Nordustran generals are feared for their aggressiveness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordustra's national animal is the Five-Legged Ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity and Fáuna-Spiritsm.

Nordustra is ranked 8,769^th in the world and 92^nd in Forest for Healthiest Citizens, with 15.78 bananas ingested per day.
