The Asgard Founder of Sacred Yggdrasil is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Cormac Skollvaldr with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 31.447 billion Cormactopians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cormacville. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Cormactopian economy, worth a remarkable 2,465 trillion crucicrescents a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 78,399 crucicrescents, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, pet owners must make a payment if their charges leave a deposit, chess defeat has made Cormac Skollvaldr the laughingstock of dictators and grandmasters alike, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Cormac Skollvaldr is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sacred Yggdrasil's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cormacism.

Sacred Yggdrasil is ranked 201,088th in the world and 2nd in Asgard for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 847.69 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
