The Federal Republic of Norvoz is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 3.384 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norvos. The average income tax rate is 7.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Norvozian economy, worth 752 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 222,458 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, and the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region. Crime is totally unknown. Norvoz's national animal is the Gaur, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Norvoz is ranked 5,506^th in the world and 272^nd in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 540.59 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
