The Dominion of Nornheim is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Odin with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless population of 18.256 billion Nornheimians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Heimsbrunnir. The average income tax rate is 21.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nornheimian economy, worth a remarkable 2,353 trillion coins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,889 coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, criminals are put to death while cuddling their favourite teddy bear, and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Nornheim's national animal is the snowfox, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nornheim is ranked 132,076^th in the world and 112^th in Equilism for Largest Black Market, with 216 billion Standard Monetary Units.
