The Constitutional Monarchy of Scandaland is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Barnaby Wild with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 44.238 billion Scandalandians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aldebaran. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Scandalandian economy, worth a remarkable 8,940 trillion bigbucks a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 202,106 bigbucks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, the Department of Reduction of Bureaucratic Red Tape has set up a working committee to investigate its own excessive paperwork, hordes of tourists are ruining the environment, and Prime Minister Barnaby Wild's reputation is hard as nails. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scandaland's national animal is the golden seahorse, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is none.

Scandaland is ranked 1,995th in the world and 3rd in Free States of Gaia for Lowest Crime Rates, with 144.62 law-abiding acts per hour.
