The State of Scandinavian Prime is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its absence of drug laws, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 17.75 billion Scandinavian Primeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The very strong Scandinavian Primean economy, worth 847 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 47,763 betales, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 297,518 per year while the poor average 3,279, a ratio of 90.7 to 1.

Teenagers claim that morning paper rounds are performance art, fewer people are bathing as citizens must show ration stamps before they can turn on their faucets, the Gallery of Instasnap is the most popular museum in the country, and toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Scandinavian Prime's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Scandinavian Prime is ranked 6,706^th in the world and 22^nd in Ancient Lands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 9,789.34 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
