The United Regions of Nordiheim is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by The Council of Nordiheim with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 2.96 billion Nordiheimians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Midgard. The average income tax rate is 74.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nordiheimian economy, worth 421 trillion Gehms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,414 Gehms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government has adopted a "Lightning Never Strikes Twice" approach to dealing with natural disasters, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens", and extreme hiring regulations mean a job in Nordiheim is often a lifetime appointment. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nordiheim's national animal is the Drake, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Draconic Spiritualism.

Nordiheim is ranked 172,512^th in the world and 156^th in Corsair for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 211.52 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
