The Kingdom of Scolipede is a massive, safe nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion and absence of drug laws. The democratic population of 3.908 billion Scolipedeans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.
The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but underdeveloped Scolipedean economy, worth 114 trillion Pokémon dollars a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,194 Pokémon dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Same-sex marriages are increasingly common, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, and euthanasia is legal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scolipede's national animal is the centipede, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Scolipede is ranked 220,572nd in the world and 2,706th in Ambition for Most Patriotic, with 4.2 flags saluted per person per day.
