The Federal Nordic Union of Aboveland is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kaisla Saari with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 22.502 billion Abovians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vankkavalta. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Abovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,166 trillion turkkis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,288 turkkis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, people make a career out of medical voyeurism, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, and a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aboveland's national animal is the arctic fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Aboveland is ranked 11,383rd in the world and 15th in Esportiva for Most Cultured, scoring 112 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
