The Remote Farming Colony of Norba is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 27.292 billion Norbans 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 government prioritizes Law & Order, although Spirituality, Education, and Defense are also considered important, while Welfare is ignored. The average income tax rate is 26.0%.

The strong Norban economy, worth a remarkable 1,277 trillion northern saars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 46,798 northern saars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Norba has designated Norba City as its capital city, Leader has just been declared ruler of Norba in an international press conference, park rangers struggle to deal with a rash of stolen pic-a-nic baskets, and the alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit. Crime is well under control, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Norba's national animal is the ox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Norba is ranked 37,614^th in the world and 9^th in Land for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 833.53 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
