The Scᴀɴᴅıɳᴀvıᴀɴ Uɴıoɴ of The Dark Norse is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Anders Jacobsen with an even hand, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cheerful population of 17.94 billion Dark Norsemen 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 Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of København. The average income tax rate is 96.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Dark Nordic economy, worth a remarkable 3,589 trillion Krönas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 200,061 Krönas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, pieces of iron pyrite are believed to be worth their weight in gold, the nation's museums are real penny-pinchers, and public hospital staff roll their eyes at anything less than a heart attack. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Dark Norse's national animal is the Naked Berserker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Forn Siðr.

The Dark Norse is ranked 52,957th in the world and 12th in Zombie Research Institute for Most Stationary, with 836.42924246272 days.
