Communications:

Scandinavia is a very advanced communication nation. Many innovations comes from Scandinavian laboratories, and the high security of the communication lines provide one of the safest and fastest networks in the world. In order to keep that high security, the Scandinavian Federation is forced to maintain extensive firewalls with the darkest possible IC connected to every communication node. Deckers, Beware!
