The Great Kingdom of Scarpland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Lord with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, avowedly heterosexual populace, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.57 billion Scarpish are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scarpington. The average income tax rate is 82.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scarpish economy, worth 602 trillion Scarpish Minoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 131,926 Scarpish Minoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, Bigtopian relations have become a minefield, foreign militias and child smuggling rings will always love Lord, and citizens are tied down and forced to watch educational videos on empathy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scarpland's national animal is the Markhor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scarpland is ranked 16,774^th in the world and 1,074^th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 92.49 law-abiding acts per hour.
