The Most Serene Republic of Gran Scotia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Howard James Mippets with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, free-roaming dinosaurs, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.485 billion Gran Scotians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Johnsonville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 41.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Gran Scotian economy, worth a remarkable 7,050 trillion Scotian Guineas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 403,213 Scotian Guineas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,250,772 per year while the poor average 100,079, a ratio of 12.5 to 1.

A weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, when you fly on Air Gran Scotia you win a seat or you die, Sir Howard James Mippets steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun. Crime is totally unknown. Gran Scotia's national animal is the European Wildcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Gran Scotia is ranked 286,312^th in the world and 11,016^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 4.93 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
