The Confederacy of Scottie is a mammoth, safe nation, notable for its parental licensing program. The quiet, industrious population of 5.167 billion Scottieans 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 Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 21.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Scottiean economy, worth 242 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,826 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scottie's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
