The Hermit Kingdom of Norktopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by the General Secretary with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, zero percent divorce rate, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 18.734 billion workers and peasants 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 Environment, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of P'yingpyŏng. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Norktopian economy, worth a remarkable 2,681 trillion grams of rice 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, highly specialized black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. 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 143,120 grams of rice, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Citizens are now allowed to discuss whether The General Secretary is the greatest ruler ever or simply the greatest ruler of this generation, women who can do math in their head are burned for witchcraft, tuba players are paid to quietly whisper into their instruments, and Norktopia's fine wines are renowned throughout the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Norktopia's national animal is the great raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is undefined.
Norktopia is ranked 331,067th in the world and 13th in East Asia for Nicest Citizens, with 0.36 average smiles per day.
