The Confederacy of The Svalbard Islands is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Governor Njord with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 14.792 billion Svalbardians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Longyearbyen. The average income tax rate is 8.7%.

The thriving Svalbard Islandsian economy, worth 739 trillion øres a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 50,003 øres, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Political speeches that drill deep into bureaucratic fine detail could be said to be a little boring, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Svalbard Islands's national animal is the kraken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

The Svalbard Islands is ranked 159,648^th in the world and 4^th in Auralia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 786.2 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
