The Republic of Nordanmark is a large, efficient nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 137 million Nordanmarkians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 23.2%.

The very strong Nordanmarkian economy, worth 9.99 trillion Nordankroners a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,927 Nordankroners, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Extraordinary tribunals try accused financial criminals, election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, and arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated. Crime is totally unknown. Nordanmark's national animal is the Red Deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nordanmark is ranked 29,663^rd in the world and 198^th in the West Pacific for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,336.66 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
