The Royal United Realms of Northern Scandinavian Islands is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.276 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 77.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scandlandsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,043 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 126,074 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children raised in multi-faith households claim the other deity would let them stay up later, diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, shanty towns have formed around the newly rebuilt commercial district, and teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank. 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 16,096^th in the world and 33^rd in The Western Isles for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 19,764.88 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
