The Republic of Noreds Thereneuthene is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Tau'ri with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, anti-smoking policies, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.555 billion Noreds hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noreds. The average income tax rate is 85.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Noreds economy, worth 568 trillion Credits 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 124,870 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, there is a growing belief that mothers love their children more than fathers, any citizen who cries is immediately assigned a psychiatrist, and foreign leaders are advising that Tau'ri's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Noreds Thereneuthene's national animal is the Owlbear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Noreds Thereneuthene is ranked 10,158^th in the world and 284^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,737.68 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
