Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Glorious Empire of The Scandinvans is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 16.541 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, corrupt, pro-business individuals is mainly concerned with Defence, although Law & Order and Commerce are secondary priorities. 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.

Pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, the workforce is almost entirely made up of slave labour, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime is crippling. 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 32nd in Gholgoth and 98,361st in the world for Happiest Citizens, scoring 7 on the Relative Cheerfulness Rating.
