The United States of Scribner Way is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Gusto with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 4.485 billion 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 enormous government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, the Environment, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, citizens wishing to be parents must undertake a series of gruelling tests to evaluate their capabilities, museums stand half-empty as all foreign exhibits are returned to their countries of origin, and conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scribner Way's national animal is the Sandy, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Schlitz.

Scribner Way is ranked 211th in 10000 Islands and 1,348th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 129 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
