The Republic of Scake is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 3.826 billion Scakeans live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The strong Scakean economy, worth 148 trillion scakes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Trout Farming, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 38,887 scakes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 250,636 per year while the poor average 2,437, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Scake's national animal is the scake, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Scake is ranked 187,313^th in the world and 3^rd in Canadoors for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 42 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
