The Republic of The Scandinavian Statehood is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Kjell Mårten with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.053 billion Scandinavians 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 Education, Welfare, and Public Transport. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nordstjärnan. The average income tax rate is 19.7%.

The powerhouse Scandinavian Statehoodian economy, worth 272 trillion Scandinavian Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 89,188 Scandinavian Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

There's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, third world countries are rich in "I Love Nordstjärnan" t-shirts, a suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to Scandinavian Statehoodian politicians, and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Scandinavian Statehood's national animal is the Polar Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Scandinavian Statehood is ranked 208,718^th in the world and 389^th in Europe for Fattest Citizens, with 9.13 Obesity Rate.
