The Kingdom of Norfarland is a large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 62 million Norfarlandians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 45.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but underdeveloped Norfarlandian economy, worth 1.84 trillion Angels a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,702 Angels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Ignorance is considered a politically desirable quality, producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless, and vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norfarland's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Norfarland is ranked 216,284th in the world and 4,083rd in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 29.83 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
