The Commonwealth of Scandivielium is a huge, genial nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 258 million Scandivites are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Taumblium. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Scandivieliumian economy, worth 16.4 trillion SKS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,588 SKS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Economists confusingly list "fusarium rot and leaf blight" as major risk factors for monetary deflation, Scandivielium has designated Taumblium as its capital city, the blood, sweat, and tears of poor Scandivites make research institutes rich, and school cafeterias serve nothing but protein powder and vitamin supplements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scandivielium's national animal is the Scandivite Elk.

Scandivielium is ranked 143,639^th in the world and 2,572^nd in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 936.33 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
