The Free Land of ECC Norway is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Kurt Cobain with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.078 billion Norwegians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 87.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norwegian economy, worth 127 trillion Norwegian Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 117,887 Norwegian Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Oslo Natural History Museum, in a baffling press conference Kurt Cobain proudly dismantled a broken door, official government guidance encourages binge behaviors, and frat-house partying has become the national pastime. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ECC Norway's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cobainism.

ECC Norway is ranked 270,759^th in the world and 6,688^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
