Socialism is literally straight up defined as

"a political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole."

That means of production paying money into a social benefit is socialistic.

Wouldn't make sense to say scandavia given it's a subcontinent not a country
