The Glorious Empire of The Scandinvans is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, frequent executions, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 42.673 billion Scandinvans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The minute, corrupt, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valdra. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Scandinvansian economy, worth an astonishing 17,180 trillion Darvians a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 402,603 Darvians, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,755,075 per year while the poor average 3,824, a ratio of 982 to 1.

Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil, the military has declared that 'a woman's place is in the mess hall', and Scandinvansian actors literally work from cradle to grave. Crime is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Scandinvans's national animal is the Artic Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Scandinvans is ranked 1,990th in the world and 7th in Gholgoth for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 30,169.5 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
