The Republic of Scake is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.761 billion Scakeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The strong Scakean economy, worth 146 trillion scakes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 38,887 scakes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,636 per year while the poor average 2,437, a ratio of 102 to 1.
