The Confederation of Norosphood is a massive, genial nation, ruled by El Hismo Louis Diamo I with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 1.561 billion Norosphoodians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hessenberg. The average income tax rate is 35.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Norosphoodian economy, worth 67.8 trillion kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 43,404 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Norosphoodian Moonshine", El Hismo Louis Diamo I has just been declared ruler of Norosphood in an international press conference, Christianity has been named as Norosphood's national religion, and shell-shocked refugees are made to provide Immigration with lively renditions of 'Dancing Queen'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norosphood's national animal is the emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Christianity.

Norosphood is ranked 216,581^st in the world and 9,271^st in the South Pacific for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 42.67 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
