The Commonwealth of Greater Icelandia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 427 million Scandinavians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 51.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Greater Icelandian economy, worth 39.3 trillion Krónas a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,976 Krónas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Hordes of faceless civil servants are running cities, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, the government provides its citizenry with the same mass produced rations, and embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Greater Icelandia's national animal is the Bottlenose Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Greater Icelandia is ranked 24,210th in the world and 386th in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 939.37 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
