Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Democratic Republic of Scandinopia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 501 million Scandinopians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Scandinopian economy, worth 17.0 trillion scands a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 33,932 scands, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Demand for night vision goggles and boat engine mufflers has spiked, gun regulations are so strict even staple guns and hot glue guns are illegal, the new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one, and excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside. Crime is totally unknown. Scandinopia's national animal is the polar bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scandinopia is ranked 89,299^th in the world and 4,097^th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,804.94 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
