The Social Democracy of Greater Icelandia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Alexander Wood with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 2.857 billion Scandinavians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Icelandian economy, worth 464 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,597 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, the latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, residents of newly dried out bays live in fear of leaky dikes, and protecting the land is holey work. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Icelandia's national animal is the Vulpes lagopus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Icelandia is ranked 8,170^th in the world and 153^rd in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 437.22 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
