The Leftist Republic of Scania-Vabis is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Cody with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.632 billion Scanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scania City. The average income tax rate is 54.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Vabian economy, worth 133 trillion Vabis Kronor a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,875 Vabis Kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old warplanes and tanks that break down can't be repaired since no one makes the parts anymore, the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, and odysseying merchant sailors swear that they've heard sirens in the western seas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scania-Vabis's national animal is the Scanian Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scania-Vabis is ranked 228,177^th in the world and 8,545^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,402.64 Standard Monetary Units.
