The Community of Norrport is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, national health service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.398 billion bicyclers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Cyclodrome. The average income tax rate is 82.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming car-free economy, worth 150 trillion ice cubes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 107,592 ice cubes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament, and scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Norrport's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is cycling.

Norrport is ranked 15,523rd in the world and 245th in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 102,774.73 Standard Monetary Units.
