The Schizopilled Queendom of Heijmskringla is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Queen Empress of Mankind with an iron fist, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, national health service, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.943 billion Heijmskringlans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jomsvikinga. The average income tax rate is 86.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Heijmskringlan economy, worth a remarkable 1,610 trillion vekts a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,156 vekts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Migrating birds in the nation's airspace are considered a violation of national sovereignty, extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, and there's never enough space in space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heijmskringla's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Sanctum Officium.

Heijmskringla is ranked 301,174^th in the world and 214^th in Fifth Empire for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
