The Social Democracy of Greater Icelandia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Alexander Wood with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.784 billion Scandinavians 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 enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Icelandian economy, worth 847 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,167 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, Alexander Wood's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, and children are brainwashed at a young age to accept "love and peace!" as a way of life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Icelandia's national animal is the Vulpes lagopus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Greater Icelandia is ranked 281,795th in the world and 203rd in Thaecia for Most Primitive, scoring -369.84 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
