The Most Serene United Kingdom of Vikoland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by King Viktor II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8.614 billion Vikolanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rundhavn. The average income tax rate is 73.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vikolandic economy, worth a remarkable 1,222 trillion Kronor a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,970 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The internal market is thriving, workers for the environmental protection agency are patted down for tartar sauce every morning, the experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Arctic Fox Dung" has been declared a national treasure, and King Viktor II can cry on demand. Crime is totally unknown. Vikoland's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Vikoland is ranked 45,358^th in the world and 111^th in Refugia for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,253.2 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
