The Socialist Republic of Scandinavian Stockholm is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Pitusky Von Skydogs with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, humorless population of 17.505 billion Scandinavian Stockholmians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Skydog City. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Scandinavian Stockholmian economy, worth a remarkable 4,390 trillion Skydogs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 250,832 Skydogs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, there's nothing more rock-and-roll than absolute sobriety, and going on a diet invalidates your passport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scandinavian Stockholm's national animal is the Tortoise, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Skydoga.
Scandinavian Stockholm is ranked 355th in the world and 13th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 124.63 average smiles per day.
