The Kingdom of New-Normandy is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its infamous sell-swords, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 423 million Novo-Normans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Montréal. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.2%.

The all-consuming Norman economy, worth 49.8 trillion Piastres a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 117,839 Piastres, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

There's a bright dawn ahead for New-Normandy, disposable antiseptic wipes are considered a social necessity, scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New-Normandy's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New-Normandy is ranked 4,348^th in the world and 2^nd in The Great Monarchical Nations for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 15,435.75 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
