The United Northern Kingdom of Skelleftella is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Linus Karl Okelsson with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, daily referendums, and aversion to nipples. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 7.244 billion Skelleftellans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Äkerslön. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skelleftellan economy, worth a remarkable 2,332 trillion Skelleftellan Kronars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 321,971 Skelleftellan Kronars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs, schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and the Skelleftella Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime is totally unknown. Skelleftella's national animal is the Atlantic Salmon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is None.

Skelleftella is ranked 2,053^rd in the world and 2^nd in Valaryia for Largest Governments, scoring 55.04 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
