The Nordic Kingdom of Lysvika is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Viljar Solberg with a fair hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.456 billion Lysvikans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valdringe. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Lysvikan economy, worth 591 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,037 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'sing-a-long with Viljar Solberg' album is a popular souvenir, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, the nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, and the nation is known abroad mostly for its Parliamentary antics. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lysvika's national animal is the Cormorant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Lysvika is ranked 7,820^th in the world and 158^th in Europe for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 6,509.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
