The Social Democracy of Greater Icelandia is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Alexander Wood with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.376 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, outspoken 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 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Icelandian economy, worth 574 trillion Kroner a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,068 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists are pillars of society, posters on 'Greater Icelandian Values' advise against being proud of Greater Icelandia, interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBGI Governor goes house hunting, and invasive species are hunted by the gendarmerie. 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 15,991^st in the world and 268^th in Europe for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,913.6 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
