The Kingdom in Right of Scandonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.91 billion Scandonians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, with Industry and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Scandonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,006 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,114 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Scandonia's national animal is the black bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Scandonia is ranked 141,362^nd in the world and 2^nd in Foringana for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 671.24 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
