The Kingdom of Iceland-Scotland is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Jean Kraalqi with a fair hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 1.337 billion Icelanders enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reykjavik. The average income tax rate is 47.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Icelandic economy, worth 133 trillion Kronors a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 99,580 Kronors, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, and the consent form for routine blood pressure measurement has been nominated for the 'Novel Of The Year' award.

Iceland-Scotland is ranked 243,634th in the world and 9th in Femboy for Most Conservative, scoring 41.25 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
