The United People's Republic of Scotatrova is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Iago Íase with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 22.186 billion Scotatrovians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Muse. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 84.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Scotatrovian economy, worth a remarkable 2,480 trillion Scotatrovian Troyevans 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 led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 111,823 Scotatrovian Troyevans, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.

Birth rates have hit an all-time low, Members of Parliament are often found living in cardboard boxes, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scotatrova's national animal is the Grey Tailed Falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Scotatrova is ranked 57,512^th in the world and 37^th in Confederacy of Allied States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
