The Kingdom of Njordsund is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leif Haraldsson with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 826 million Njordsundians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lindholm. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Njordsundian economy, worth 54.9 trillion gulls a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,498 gulls, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, the government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and building a phallus out of Minecraft blocks counts as indecent exposure. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Njordsund's national animal is the reindeer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Njordsund is ranked 266,780th in the world and 1,199th in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
