The Technofederative Kingdom of Scandivielium is a massive, genial nation, ruled by King Alexandius with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.515 billion Scandivites 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, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oksan. The average income tax rate is 80.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Scandivielian economy, worth 138 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 91,348 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, Scandivielium's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, judicial torture is outsourced overseas, and children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scandivielium's national animal is the Eurasian Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scandivielium is ranked 72,994^th in the world and 441^st in Europe for Most Patriotic, with 22.76 flags saluted per person per day.
