The Konungdómur of Vikinga is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Keisara Erik with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.67 billion Norsemen are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Keisaraheima. The average income tax rate is 80.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Norse economy, worth 431 trillion Red golds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,521 Red golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Selling your granddad's clothes requires an incredible amount of paperwork, facial disfigurement is a leading cause of supervillainy, anyone who so much as frowns risks being referred to a mental health unit, and history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Vikinga's national animal is the Raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Asatru.
Vikinga is ranked 65,744th in the world and 3,554th in Osiris for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 115.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
