Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Kingdom of Nedenskov is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Simon Nedenskov Madsen with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.297 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Law & Order, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anfield. The average income tax rate is 67%, and even higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Students cut up leftover Slaves during Arts and Crafts, the government is reining in public spending, the space program has been scrapped in order to focus on more terrestrial pursuits, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nedenskov's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Asatro, and its currency is the Slave.

Nedenskov is ranked 10th in Valhalla and 95,684th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -5 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
