The Republic of RSCA96 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its digital currency, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.952 billion RSCA96ians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 77.6%.

The frighteningly efficient RSCA96ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,043 trillion cards a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 116,576 cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', rural RSCA96ians stare in awe at the bright lights of the big cities, and public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. RSCA96's national animal is the stonks, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

RSCA96 is ranked 35,149^th in the world and 137^th in racoda for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.91 law-abiding acts per hour.
