The Bergslagen of Golfia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Engelbrekt Engelbrektsson with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, avant-garde cinema, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 18.696 billion Bergslageners are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bergslagen. The average income tax rate is 98.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Bergslagener economy, worth a remarkable 4,939 trillion Riksdalers a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 264,191 Riksdalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, royals are always ready with their diamond-encrusted toilet plungers in case a royal flush doesn't work, when you fly on Air Golfia you win a seat or you die, and a milk bath costs more than bathing in money. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Golfia's national animal is the Berguv and Rådjur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Bergslagen.

Golfia is ranked 2,087th in the world and 8th in the Plains of Perdition for Nicest Citizens, with 69.81 average smiles per day.
