The Commonwealth of Duchy of Normandy is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.6 billion Normans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 9.1%.

The strong Norman economy, worth 260 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 46,438 deniers, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Duchy of Normandy's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duchy of Normandy is ranked 145,081^st in the world and 1^st in Normandy for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
