The Kingdom of Scotland of Saor Alba is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Saoirse Connor with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 7.996 billion Scots enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edinburgh. The average income tax rate is 41.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Scottish economy, worth 735 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,034 Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, the arms industry is backed by government subsidies and harsh anti-protest laws are in place, pro-life activists often lecture pregnant women undergoing routine prenatal screening, and grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Saor Alba's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Saor Alba is ranked 141,839th in the world and 1st in Europe of Free Nations for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,212.09 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
