The Commonwealth of Kalmar Union1 is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The democratic, devout population of 67 million Dane-Swede-Norwegians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Danish-Swedish-Norwegian economy, worth 2.64 trillion Pennings a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,459 Pennings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party, blackface performers claim they are being deliberately ironic, and families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kalmar Union1's national animal is the The moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Kalmar Union1 is ranked 98,812^th in the world and 1^st in Scandinavian Unions for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.02 law-abiding acts per hour.
