The Federal Republic of Normania Islands and Antartica territory is a huge, genial nation, ruled by The honourable president with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 925 million Normanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Normanpolis. The average income tax rate is 68.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Normanian economy, worth 104 trillion Normania Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,247 Normania Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, and the government regrets to say that it is forced to make cuts to citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Normania Islands and Antartica territory's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Normania Islands and Antartica territory is ranked 36,567th in the world and 1,178th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,575.43 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
