The Federal Republic of Scanorama is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Johanna Cardamone with a fair hand, and remarkable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 8.293 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The enormous, liberal, pro-business government devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eastbourne. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Tourism and Automobile Manufacturing.

Nude art is becoming wildly popular, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, and the newspaper industry is subsidised by the government in order to keep it afloat. Crime is relatively low. Scanorama's national animal is the Scarlet Lady, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Animaniacs, and its currency is the Velocity Point.

Scanorama is ranked 83rd in Nordic Lands and 75,624th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 9 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
