The United Nordic Kingdom of Schimmerland is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Øystein Marcussen with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.56 billion Schimmerians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslö. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Schimmerlandian economy, worth 142 trillion Kronor a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,133 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

City budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty, most ambassadors from Schimmerland retire only a few years after being appointed, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and the military has gone fission for more funding. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schimmerland's national animal is the White-Tailed Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

Schimmerland is ranked 34,345^th in the world and 6^th in The Embassy for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,839.72 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
