Scanonia (Scanonian: Skånien), officially the Kingdom of Scanonia (Scanonian: Konungariket Skånien) is a country located in central Lorecia in the region of Astyria. It is bordered with Fyngaria, Nidwalden and Noordenstaat to the northwest, Mizialand to the west, Bhormakaro to the south and Aquitayne to the east. In around 665,440 square kilometers of area live, according to the 2018 census report, 58,231,671 Scanonians, concentrated in valleys of major rivers and surrounded by high mountains.

Politics
Scanonia is a constitutional parliamentary monarchy with King Frederick VIII of Scanonia as current monarch and a head of state. The political power is split in three branches, legislative, with unicameral parliament known as the Riksdag, executive, with the Government of Scanonia and judiciary by a hierarchial system of courts with the Supreme Court of Scanonia as the highest court of law.
Monarch
The Monarch of Scanonia officially holds the title King/Queen of the Scanonians (Scanonian: Skånskarnas konung/konungin) rather than King/Queen of Scanonia. This tradition indicates a popular monarchy and ties the monarch to the Scanonian people and originates from the period of real union with Noordenstaat. Traditionally, heads of the Nassau Union and later Commonwealth of Noordenstaat-Scanonia held the title of "King of the Scanonians" indicating that their rule is the will of the Scanonian people.
In 1968, following tense relations with Fyngarian Socialist Republic, King Harald V used his Royal prerogative and issued an act banning all Fyngarian citizens from obtaining residence permit, getting a job and instructed all employers to fire all Fyngarian citizens. The Riksdag proceeded to repeal the act, however, as all Riksdag decisions had to recieve Royal Assent, the repeal was unsuccessful, which triggered nationwide protests. On 4th of September, three weeks after the start of the protests, King Harald V was forced to abdicate, passing the throne to his eldest son Charles III. King Charles III immediately repealed the infamous act and the Riksdag started constitutional reforms to limit the powers of the monarch. In 1970, the Riksdag successfully amended the Basic Law of Scanonia, limiting the role of the monarch to ceremonial, representative and symbolic.
The current monarch of Scanonia, since 21 July 2009, is King Frederick VIII.
Legislative branch
Legislative power is vested in unicameral parliament known as Riksdag (Scanonian: Skåniens riksdag) with 350 members of the parliament elected every 4 years in national elections and are appointed on the basis of proportional representation. Legislation may be initiated by the Riksdag members or by the Government, where a majority of the members must approve the legislation in order to adopt it. Riksdag may also change and amend the Basic Laws of Scanonia with an absolute majority with two separate votes, separated by a general election in between, and a national referendum.
Executive branch
Executive power is vested in the Government of Scanonia (Scanonian: Regeringen) headed by the Prime Minister, appointed by the Riksdag based on the election results and the Cabinet (Scanonian: Statsråd) of ministers appointed by the prime minister. The Government answers for its actions directly to the Riksdag, while governmental institutions and agencies respond directly to the Government as a whole, not to the ministries they're under.
