Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The United Socialist States of Schultaria Prime is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.786 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schultaria Prime. The average income tax rate is 80%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing industries.

Schultaria Prime is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Schultaria Prime, embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns, and the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations. Crime is totally unknown. Schultaria Prime's national animal is the Hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the merlon.

Schultaria Prime is ranked 37th in Gholgoth and 57,132nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -13 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
