The Federal Republic of Norcali is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 18 million Norcalians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 18.6%.

The Norcalian economy, worth 1.11 trillion Nordaks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,827 Nordaks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians no longer click with dating app matches, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, anti-government web sites are springing up, and shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norcali's national animal is the Dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Norcali is ranked 170,404^th in the world and 702^nd in Europeia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 1,013.66 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
