The Constitutional Monarchy of The Nordic-Kalmarian Union is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 250 million Kalmarians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Nordic-Kalmarian Unionian economy, worth 12.5 trillion Kalmar Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,835 Kalmar Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, skateparks can be found in every city, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and the government's foreign policy statements are less threatening than a World Assembly cease-and-desist letter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Nordic-Kalmarian Union's national animal is the Whooper Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Nordic-Kalmarian Union is ranked 84,805^th in the world and 634^th in Europe for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 324.49 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
