The Federal Republic of Norilskia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Federal Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 12.244 billion Norilskians 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 enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Jérôme. The average income tax rate is 84.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norilskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,337 trillion Norilsk Shillings 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 dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 109,253 Norilsk Shillings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, EULAs remind customers that "Private Mode" is a browser setting rather than a promise, people make a career out of medical voyeurism, and the bourgeoisie are asked nicely to hand over the means of production. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norilskia's national animal is the Wallaby, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Norilskia is ranked 22,652^nd in the world and 1,623^rd in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.64 law-abiding acts per hour.
