The Federated Segments of Scolopendra is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Emperor Mballa Ipolla with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, complete lack of prisons, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 47.257 billion Scolopendrans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stonozka. The average income tax rate is 91.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scolopendran economy, worth a remarkable 7,733 trillion alkos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 163,651 alkos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Every workday begins with group therapy, most of the military's funding goes into researching space-age weaponry, the SBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, and EpiPen sales have skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown. Scolopendra's national animal is the centipede, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Scolopendra is ranked 280,027^th in the world and 3^rd in Titan for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 13,583.11 Standard Monetary Units.
