The Democratic Republic of Scorryu is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 598 million Scorryuans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 42.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Scorryuan economy, worth 46.3 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is 77,349 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll, increasing numbers of children in Scorryu have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, Scorryuan tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, and helicopter parenting is on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Scorryu's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Scorryu is ranked 300,318^th in the world and 289^th in Saint Osmund for Largest Black Market, with 19.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
