The Empire of The Greater Nordics is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by Empress Catrine with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 17.708 billion Nordics have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hrafnborg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Nordic economy, worth a remarkable 3,741 trillion Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 211,265 Kronor, with the richest citizens earning 9.2 times as much as the poorest.

Hrafnborg University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, the government is on the side of working people (like CEOs, bankers and billionaires), all facts are created equal, and preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Greater Nordics's national animal is the artic fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

The Greater Nordics is ranked 10,396^th in the world and 3^rd in Rosaria for Most Developed, scoring 90.35 on the Human Development Index.
