The Infantry Unit of 2nd Bataljon is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Steinar Dahl with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, democratic population of 23.815 billion Norwegians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 27.6%.

The very strong Norwegian economy, worth a remarkable 1,541 trillion Kroner 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, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, 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 64,709 Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, Steinar Dahl's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, and foreign leaders are advising that Steinar Dahl's letters must have gotten lost in the mail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 2nd Bataljon's national animal is the Elg, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Norway.

2nd Bataljon is ranked 89,850^th in the world and 370^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,600.4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
