The United Northern Kingdom of Skelleftella is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by King Gustaf XIII with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 1.982 billion Skelleftellans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stockholm. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skelleftellan economy, worth 347 trillion Skelleftellan Kronars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 175,408 Skelleftellan Kronars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Supermarket milk is a shear-thickening fluid that can stop small-caliber bullets, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed, and 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Skelleftella's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Skelleftella is ranked 32,410^th in the world and 287^th in Europe for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 5,615.23 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
