The Confederacy of Nordzinnian Republics is a small, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 26 million Nordzinnians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 46.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nordzinnian economy, worth 1.02 trillion Nordzinnian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,295 Nordzinnian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, Nordzinnian Republics City has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, and the internal market is thriving. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordzinnian Republics's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nordzinnian Republics is ranked 100,673^rd in the world and 934^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,995.78 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
