The United Socialists of LilScars is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ingrid Volkov with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory vegetarianism, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate population of 1.578 billion lilScarsians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Golden Spoon City. The average income tax rate is 84.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient lilScarsian economy, worth 205 trillion Scarpes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 130,250 Scarpes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political commentators say that Ingrid Volkov's fruitcake plans are about to go pear-shaped, 100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, and the nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. LilScars's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnostic.

LilScars is ranked 18,886th in the world and 316th in the Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 31.03 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
