The Love-filled Monarchy of New Skandenivia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Moi with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 1.83 billion New Skandenivians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Valentine City. The average income tax rate is 82.4%.

The powerhouse New Skandenivian economy, worth 168 trillion Kröns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,066 Kröns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes private property for the 'good of the people', young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, the team in charge of creating a new writing system have spent months deciding whether or not to use serif or sans-serif characters, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Skandenivia's national animal is the Puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

New Skandenivia is ranked 12,090^th in the world and 179^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 9,871.33 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
