The Colony of SCP-4996 is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning apocalypse lizard population. The hard-working population of 2.189 billion SCP-4996ians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 17.6%.

The SCP-4996ian economy, worth 98.6 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 45,027 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SCP-4996's national animal is the apocalypse lizard.

SCP-4996 is ranked 228,416^th in the world and 12,320^th in Lazarus for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -4.47 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
