The State of Norfolkham is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.838 billion Norfolkhamians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Defense is also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Norfolkhamian economy, worth 514 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Average income is 47,455 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 305,852 per year while the poor average 2,974, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, and Norfolkham has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Norfolkham's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Norfolkham is ranked 263,876th in the world and 7th in Windsor for Safest, scoring 14.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
