The United Kingdom of Norrblo is a mid-sized, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 76 million Norrbloans 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 Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Norrbloan economy, worth 2.64 trillion nilis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Tourism. Average income is 34,789 nilis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, Harry Potter books are banned, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Norrblo's national animal is the Veal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Norrblo is ranked 220,623^rd in the world and 355^th in Starlight for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 898.25 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
