The Empire of Scarlette is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 317 million Unicorns 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 prioritizes Administration, although Defense, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 46.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Zazumikos economy, worth 11.6 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,728 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, Leader will only ring up foreign leaders if they agree to reverse the charges, all government facilities are built in the subterranean citadel of Scarlette City, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scarlette's national animal is the porpoise.

Scarlette is ranked 179,012^th in the world and 1^st in PoP for Largest Black Market, with 691 billion Standard Monetary Units.
