The Happy New Hamsters 🐹 of The Democratic Kingdom Of Skaraborg is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Oscar III with an even hand, and notable for its aversion to nipples, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 8.483 billion Skaraborgians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hamsterdam. The average income tax rate is 94.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Skaraborgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,058 trillion Skaraborgian Riksdalers a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,786 Skaraborgian Riksdalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, they say that Skaraborgians made a dessert and called it peace, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Democratic Kingdom Of Skaraborg's national animal is the Hamster 🐹, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

The Democratic Kingdom Of Skaraborg is ranked 9,739th in the world and 437th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 120 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
