The Royal United Realms of Northern Scandinavian Islands is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.099 billion Scandlandsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Markarfljot. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scandlandsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,886 trillion Crowns a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 133,774 Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Northern Scandinavian Islands's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Northern Scandinavian Islands is ranked 287,137^th in the world and 29^th in Renegade Islands Alliance for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -14.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
