The Commonwealth of Norfolkius is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by William Harrison Mitchell with an even hand, and renowned for its burgeoning Norfolk Patrick Starfish population. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.285 billion Norfolkians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norfient. The average income tax rate is 13.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Norfolkian economy, worth 82.5 trillion Nrs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,221 Nrs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Federal Council of Norfolkius has been announced as the new Head of State, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Norfolkius's national animal is the Norfolk Patrick Starfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Norfolkius is ranked 238,680^th in the world and 840^th in Carcassonne for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -2.97 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
