The Third Empirical-Republic of Nordicy is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prince Conner Terrell with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.158 billion Nordicidians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Koninklikestad. The average income tax rate is 49.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Nordicidian economy, worth 240 trillion Bloudols a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 76,266 Bloudols, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, the tightness of border controls in Nordicy leave a little to be desired, enemy navies sail within bombardment range of major coastal cities with impunity, and elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordicy's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Folklore.

Nordicy is ranked 200,405^th in the world and 10,720^th in Osiris for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 5,881.22 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
