The Minister of Truth of Scarlet guard is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Big Rhaza with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.173 billion Scarlet guardians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Room 101. The average income tax rate is 18.0%.

The Scarlet guardian economy, worth 103 trillion credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 47,538 credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

The Room 101 Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, the nation is reliant on the principle of mutually assured destruction to maintain its security, Big Rhaza has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, and all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Room 101. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scarlet guard's national animal is the Scarlet Space bird, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Scarlet guard is ranked 78,323^rd in the world and 4^th in Solidarity for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,872.43 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
