The Crowned Republics of Down Scoblic is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by President Kelini with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 8.691 billion Scoblese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Regalona. The average income tax rate is 97.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Scoblese economy, worth a remarkable 1,940 trillion North Regional Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 223,299 North Regional Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums, research to reduce famine is defunded by a one percent margin vote, bike rage is all the rage, and welfare recipients frequently parlay checks into homelessness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Down Scoblic's national animal is the Miori, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Edenism.

Down Scoblic is ranked 9,854^th in the world and 378^th in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 11,821.61 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
