The Holy Imperium of Scando-Polandandic is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.266 billion Scando-Polandandicians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Visby in Gotland. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Scando-Polandandician economy, worth a remarkable 1,162 trillion Krone-złoties a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 103,227 Krone-złoties, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Late night adverts for breast milk co-ops regularly win pornography industry awards, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, there's a hole in the heart of every Scando-Polandandician city, and fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scando-Polandandic's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Scando-Polandandic is ranked 67,472nd in the world and 4,036th in Balder for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 3,242.28 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
