The Social Democratic Republic of Nordharz is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by TheHarzPhoenix with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.674 billion Nordharzians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wernigerode. The average income tax rate is 91.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nordharzian economy, worth 872 trillion Euros a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,843 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose, pet rocks are sold by the pound, and the government strictly regulates whale harvest quotas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordharz's national animal is the Lynx, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Nordharz is ranked 306,950th in the world and 1,454th in Europe for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -16.6 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
