The Constitutional Monarchy of The Democratic States of Scandinavia is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 503 million Democratic States of Scandinavians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Göteborg. The average income tax rate is 59.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Democratic States of Scandinavian economy, worth 34.6 trillion SNKS a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,689 SNKS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, young people avoid opening doors for the elderly with impunity, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Democratic States of Scandinavia's national animal is the Elk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Democratic States of Scandinavia is ranked 85,547^th in the world and 775^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 94.35 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
