The Crowned Republics of Down Scoblic is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Kelini with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 8.668 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 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Scoblese economy, worth a remarkable 1,937 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 223,567 North Regional Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Attendance of fathers at PTA meetings is at an all-time high, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, and polygraphs are relegated to the dungeon exhibit in castle museums. 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 222,764^th in the world and 1,612^th in The North Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 324 billion Standard Monetary Units.
