The Kingdom in Right of Scandonia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of public education and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 20.859 billion Scandonians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Spirituality, although Industry and Law & Order are also considered important, while Welfare and Administration aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The thriving Scandonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,003 trillion kronor a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,114 kronor, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Scandonia's national animal is the black bear, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Scandonia is ranked 134,225^th in the world and 3^rd in Foringana for Most Primitive, scoring -44.16 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
