The Social Democracy of Greater Icelandia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Alexander Wood with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.577 billion Scandinavians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken 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 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Icelandian economy, worth 790 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 172,613 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A passport is literally priceless, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, children's TV shows are having a gay old time, and only clowns with PhDs from clown college can advise Alexander Wood on Greater Icelandia's coulrophobia epidemic. 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 7,038th in the world and 18th in Thaecia for Most Cultured, scoring 140 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
