The Republic of SC-1 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The devout population of 21.851 billion SC-1ians 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 prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.5%.

The strong SC-1ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,322 trillion $$s a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,545 $$s, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, almost all products in SC-1 are hand-crafted due to strict employment laws, broken suspension systems are giving auto repair shops plenty of business, and SC-1ian soldiers are assured their new ray-guns will finally power up after the next round of ominous chanting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SC-1's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

SC-1 is ranked 140,425^th in the world and 1^st in Southern Cross for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,058.78 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
