The Kingdom of Norscandi is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 347 million Norscandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Norscandian economy, worth 32.5 trillion Typpas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 93,559 Typpas, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

'Coloniser-in-Chief' has become Leader's new moniker, Brasilistanis face layers of paperwork in a different language just to visit a doctor, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, and the tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norscandi's national animal is the Wolverine, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Norscandi is ranked 17,853^rd in the world and 20^th in Declansburg for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,936.26 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
