The Kingdom of Norweden is a gargantuan, genial nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 25.478 billion Norwedenians 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 enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Welfare, although Education, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Norwedenian economy, worth 463 trillion Lyras 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Trout Farming, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Cheese Exports. 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 18,188 Lyras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norweden's national animal is the Goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Norweden is ranked 183,072^nd in the world and 41^st in New York for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring zero on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
