The Kingdom of The Scandinavian Realm is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Carl Philip Bernadotte with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.425 billion Scandinavians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gothenburg. The average income tax rate is 95.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Scandinavian economy, worth a remarkable 4,239 trillion Scandinavian Crowns a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 449,821 Scandinavian Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Jack Russells have proven to be terrible spies, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, the nation's new Mylab space station is notorious for being the loneliest place above the planet, and heated town halls quickly descend into shootouts between politicians and their constituents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Scandinavian Realm's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Scandinavian Realm is ranked 2,971^st in the world and 56^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 701.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
