The Grand Duchy of Norfshire is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Grand Duke Jammycount Shortfeld with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, ubiquitous missile silos, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 7.678 billion Norfshiremen have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Environment, and Industry are also considered important, while Law & Order and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shakey-Wakeyfield. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Norfern' economy, worth 702 trillion Sceats a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,475 Sceats, with the richest citizens earning 9.4 times as much as the poorest.

Weighted heels are added to military boots to ensure diminutive celebrities meet minimum requirements, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, immigrant herding has become a national pastime, and cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Norfshire's national animal is the Lamb, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Norfodoxy.

Norfshire is ranked 292,149^th in the world and 76^th in Union of Christian Nations for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -9.45 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
