The Kingdom of Skorfell is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Goran Norhall with a fair hand, and notable for its lack of airports, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.063 billion Skorfellians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dromberg. The average income tax rate is 45.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Skorfellian economy, worth 115 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,998 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, there have been reports of people marrying housepets, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", and the installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skorfell's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Church of Skorfell.

Skorfell is ranked 187,508^th in the world and 162^nd in Forest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.13 kickbacks per hour.
