The Nomadic Peoples of The Scales of Justice is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its burgeoning Truth population. Its hard-nosed population of 821 million enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized government appears to have no policy direction whatsoever. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small private sector is dominated by the Soda Sales industry.

Crime is a problem, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Scales of Justice's national animal is the Truth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Justice.

The Scales of Justice is ranked 48th in Kyzikos and 20,627th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -9 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
