The Republic of Scalizagasti is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sarah Millard with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed population of 3.552 billion Scalizagastians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bewundal. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Scalizagastian economy, worth 460 trillion scalizzes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,545 scalizzes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Private law firms are unheard of, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, Wolf sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites, and the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scalizagasti's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scalizagasti is ranked 3,356^th in the world and 1^st in The Great Experiment for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 145.61 Bank.
