The Kingdom of Skaraborg is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sten Tolgfors with a fair hand, and renowned for its restrictive gun laws and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.219 billion Skaraborgians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mariestad. The average income tax rate is 39.7%.

The thriving Skaraborgian economy, worth 220 trillion Skaraborgian Kronor a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 68,597 Skaraborgian Kronor, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The once prosperous capital is in utter decline, city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of high velocity delivery drones, hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, and Michelin-star chefs are being called on to prepare menus for six-year-olds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skaraborg's national animal is the Crane, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Skaraborg is ranked 110,855th in the world and 325th in The Wellspring for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 41,364.17 Standard Monetary Units.
