The Protectorate of Norwik is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by King James with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 6.832 billion Norwikians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Norvak. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Norwikian economy, worth 814 trillion Rens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 119,189 Rens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 342,711 per year while the poor average 32,943, a ratio of 10.4 to 1.

Injured workers are encouraged to 'stitch themselves up with their bootstraps', pizzerias must now display shrines to the Pizza God, racehorses move a lot slower these days, and concussed dolphinball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norwik's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Dolphinisim.

Norwik is ranked 99,911^th in the world and 2^nd in Nova Hystoria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 928.72 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
