The Royal United Realms of Northern Scandinavian Islands is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, devout population of 6.845 billion Scandlandsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markarfljot. The average income tax rate is 73.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scandlandsian economy, worth 890 trillion Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 130,100 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Scandlandsian Space Agency, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Scandlandsians can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, billions of Crowns are spent to take high-quality photos of the Wolf Nebula, and a degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Scandinavian Islands's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern Scandinavian Islands is ranked 187,444^th in the world and 135^th in The Western Isles for Least Corrupt Governments, with 91.18 Percentage Of Bribes Refused.
