The Allied States of Norpha is a massive, safe nation, notable for its burgeoning leopard population. The democratic population of 1.096 billion Norphans 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 24.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Norphan economy, worth 25.3 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,065 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent. Norpha's national animal is the leopard.

Norpha is ranked 178,874^th in the world and 1^st in The korean peninsula for Largest Black Market, with 707 billion Standard Monetary Units.
