The Guardians of Scus is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 2.727 billion Scusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of scus city. The average income tax rate is 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Scusian economy, worth 120 trillion rubles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,312 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hostage-takers offer loyalty scheme points for prompt payment, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, and counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scus's national animal is the dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Scus is ranked 58,536^th in the world and 1^st in New Alvarez Union for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
