The Kingdom of Skandermark is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Prime Minister Villum Ahrenkiel with an even hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 12.596 billion Skanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Asmundborg. The average income tax rate is 63.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Skandish economy, worth 328 trillion Slots a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,048 Slots, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government takes agricultural advice from a wasp-themed superhero, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, students abandon classrooms for online education, and Christianity has been named as Skandermark's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skandermark's national animal is the Skylark, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Skandermark is ranked 70,339^th in the world and 2^nd in Alliance of Liberal Democratic Nations for Most Cultured, scoring 68 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
