The United Kingdom of Vikoland is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.22 billion Vikolanders enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rundhavn. The average income tax rate is 58.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Vikolandic economy, worth 112 trillion Kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 92,348 Kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Vikoland's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vikoland is ranked 12,376^th in the world and 18^th in Refugia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,412.53 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
