The Democratic Republic of Anreik is an European nation comprising of the former soverign states of Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and their respective territories, joined together in an alliance that eventually developed into a full-fledged merger. Anreik is a highly developed country noted for its progressive policies regarding environmental, welfare, and research issues. Following a few years of turmoil in the wake of the revolution that created the alliance, Anreik is now prospering and praised as an example to follow.

Population
Ethnicity
Anreik's population recently reached 1 billion, and is continuing its increase, mainly due to immigration. Fertiliy rates are declining as virtually all men and women pursue higher education and careers before forming a family. 16% of the population can trace Swedish ancestors, 12% Danish, 10% Finnish, 10% Norwegian, 7% Lithuanian, 6% Estonian, 6% Lativan, and 1% Icelandic. Of the remaining 32%, 12% are of other European descent, 7% of Asian, 7% of American (North and South), 6% of African, and less than 1% of Australian/Oceanic.
Life expectancy
The life expectancy of Anreikians is high, 89 years for women and 83 for men. Health care is handled and provided excellently by the government, but private alternatives are also available. These tend to niche themselves into smaller market segments, though, such as cosmetic surgery or "family doctors" for the wealthiest. The ageing population has become quite a problem as more elderly require more services while the working population is becoming relatively smaller due to falling fertility rates. Because of this, the retirement age has been increased gradually and at present is 70 years. Economic incentives to keep the elderly working past this age are also in effect.
