The Federal Republic of Norvoz is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, national health service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.282 billion Norvozians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norvos. The average income tax rate is 5.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norvozian economy, worth 723 trillion Rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 220,503 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces, lifeguards are more concerned with watching for sharks than struggling swimmers, political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, and third party candidates are now gaining some representation in Parliament. Crime is totally unknown. Norvoz's national animal is the Gaur, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Norvoz is ranked 127,714^th in the world and 2,884^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,296.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
