“For Liberty, God, and Emperor.”

The Glorious Empire of The Scandinvans is a gargantuan, devout nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 12.79 billion enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valdra. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Gambling industries.

Psychological disorders are a taboo subject, fur coats have become the latest fashion trend, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime is crippling, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. The Scandinvans's national animal is the Artic Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Darvian.

The Scandinvans is ranked 3rd in the region and 199th in the world for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens.
