The Rogue Nation of Scoundrel Whale is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Detective Pirate Whale with an iron fist, and renowned for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 6.694 billion Scoundrel Whaleans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stabia. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Scoundrel Whalean economy, worth 563 trillion Scoundrieses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 84,234 Scoundrieses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

International tensions are high as Scoundrel Whale threatens any government with the audacity to arrest its citizens, banning party poppers has been a real party pooper, naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, and increasing numbers of children in Scoundrel Whale have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scoundrel Whale's national animal is the Rogues, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Cetacianism.

Scoundrel Whale is ranked 280,922nd in the world and 9,804th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 6.23039879032 days.
