The Technofederative Kingdom of Scandivielium is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Alexandius with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.508 billion Scandivites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oksan. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Scandivielian economy, worth 137 trillion Kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is 91,101 Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, burning twigs to keep warm while lost in the wild is now a felony, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, and Scandivielium's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scandivielium's national animal is the Eurasian Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scandivielium is ranked 276,105^th in the world and 1,336^th in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -6.32 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
