The Hamster-Turtle Alliance 🐹🐢 of The Democratic Kingdom Of Skaraborg is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Oscar III with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 9.644 billion Skaraborgians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamsterdam. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Skaraborgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,236 trillion Skaraborgian Riksdalers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 128,208 Skaraborgian Riksdalers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, families must live in a village for a century before they get any say in how it runs, and the government has ordered a moratorium on referenda. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Democratic Kingdom Of Skaraborg's national animal is the Hamster 🐹, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

The Democratic Kingdom Of Skaraborg is ranked 71,769^th in the world and 1,319^th in The North Pacific for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 71 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
