The Sky Lord of Telemark Bataljon is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Rune Wenneberg with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory gun ownership, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 22.978 billion Norweagians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.9%.

The very strong Norweagian economy, worth a remarkable 1,673 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,841 Kroner, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, enemy governments seem especially interested in Telemark Bataljon's election cycle, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Telemark Bataljon's national animal is the Takin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Telemark Bataljon is ranked 27,510^th in the world and 43^rd in Artificial Solar System for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 2,772.62 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
