The Jarlreich of Wiking Nordland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Yngvarr Ragnvaldr with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 21.339 billion Wikingers enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nordskalr. The average income tax rate is 62.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Wiking Nordlandian economy, worth a remarkable 3,027 trillion Nordiska Kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 141,879 Nordiska Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's always rabbit season, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, the lasting legacy of the current generation is a million years of buried radioactivity, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Wiking Nordland's national animal is the White Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Norse.

Wiking Nordland is ranked 12,299^th in the world and 34^th in Yggdrasil for Lowest Crime Rates, with 97.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
