The Renewed Peoples State of New Scotstan is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Rùnaire Alasdair with an iron fist, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ban on automobiles, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.639 billion New Scotstonians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dumhchamór. The average income tax rate is 95.3%.

The frighteningly efficient New Scotstanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,209 trillion Scotstonian Fàinnes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,025 Scotstonian Fàinnes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The undead are an officially recognised ethnic minority (New Scotstan has found 1 easter egg), children regularly take part in blood sports that result in extreme boo-boos, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, and prisons in New Scotstan are the summer homes of murderers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Scotstan's national animal is the ferret, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is State Atheism.

New Scotstan is ranked 1,449^th in the world and 87^th in Lazarus for Most Secular, with 99.12 Atheism Rate.
