The Democratic Republic of Nordheiterstadt is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 69 million Nordheiterstadtans 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 prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 31.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nordheiterstadtisch economy, worth 2.84 trillion Selms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 41,219 Selms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Leader, a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBN Governor goes house hunting, and corporate lawyers are switching careers to the more lucrative field of green politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordheiterstadt's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Nordheiterstadt is ranked 189,699^th in the world and 552^nd in Concord for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
