The Royal United Realms of Northern Scandinavian Islands is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 7.603 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 Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markarfljot. The average income tax rate is 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scandlandsian economy, worth 953 trillion Crowns a year, is 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 125,472 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Smoking is banned in public areas, a surprising number of police officers have been arrested for Wolf sacrifices, agreeing to appear on TV is often the best way to access social care, and police officers often conceal their identities to safeguard against public complaints. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 13,047^th in the world and 35^th in The Western Isles for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,876.38 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
