The Sky Lord of Telemark Bataljon is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rune Wenneberg with an even hand, and renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 22.917 billion Norweagians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.9%.

The very strong Norweagian economy, worth a remarkable 1,669 trillion Kroner a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 72,841 Kroner, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, enemy governments seem especially interested in Telemark Bataljon's election cycle, and the government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Telemark Bataljon's national animal is the Takin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Telemark Bataljon is ranked 136,076^th in the world and 530^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 735.3 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
