The Federation of Nordzinn is a huge, safe nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 250 million Nordzinnians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pheonix. The average income tax rate is 55.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nordzinnian economy, worth 15.9 trillion Nordzinnin Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,474 Nordzinnin Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is allowing greater autonomy for some regions in the hopes of quelling growing secessionist movements, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, homophobia is off the menu, and Nordzinn has designated Pheonix as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordzinn's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Nordzinn is ranked 152,149^th in the world and 2,112^th in the Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 396.48 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
