The Constitutional Monarchy of United-Viking is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Olaf Haraldson with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed population of 4.156 billion Vikings 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Oslo. The average income tax rate is 65.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient United-Vikingian economy, worth a remarkable 1,028 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 247,535 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Transgender and agender are on the education agenda, all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', sociologists can charge whatever fee they like as the nation tries to find itself, and politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. United-Viking's national animal is the Grå ulv, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is lutheranism.
United-Viking is ranked 1,185th in the world and 16th in the Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 86.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
