The Social Democracy of Greater Icelandia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alexander Wood with a fair hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.79 billion Scandinavians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

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 Oslo. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Icelandian economy, worth 848 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,136 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe videos of political debates to patients with insomnia, the government has solemnly sworn not to look up other nations' internet browsing history if the favor is returned, pharmaceutical companies emphatically promise that "your pills are in the mail" rather than admit any supply shortfall, and minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Icelandia's national animal is the Vulpes lagopus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Icelandia is ranked 12,247th in the world and 35th in Thaecia for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,609.93 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
