The Commonwealth of Nordic Royal State is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by King Odin with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 8.587 billion Norse enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Konstantinopel. The average income tax rate is 86.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nordic economy, worth a remarkable 1,377 trillion Nordic Crowns a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 160,447 Nordic Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

King Odin is famed for giving great back rubs, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, people boast about their low income on their dating profiles, and burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordic Royal State's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ásatrú.

Nordic Royal State is ranked 5,890^th in the world and 282^nd in Lazarus for Highest Food Quality, scoring 195.74 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
