The Empire of Scooby Doo is a huge, devout nation, renowned for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 775 million 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Religion & Spirituality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scooby Doo City. The average income tax rate is 68%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The judicial system legislates morality, teenagers across the country are celebrating the defeat of a national curfew bill, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scooby Doo's national animal is the turkey, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the chinese dollar.

Scooby Doo is ranked 5th in Fuzzy and 80,620th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -17 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
