The Republic of Scent of Night is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and unlimited-speed roads. The cynical population of 8.645 billion Scent of Nightians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 35.8%.

The large but inefficient Scent of Nightian economy, worth 383 trillion pesos a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,312 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

An epidemic of unpopped kernels causes movie goers to gnash their teeth, the Scent of Night City Prison Revue puts on a better stage show than anything in the Theatre District, primary candidates are replaced if they fail to compliment Leader's hair, and the Scent of Night Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scent of Night's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Scent of Night is ranked 244,152nd in the world and 7,791st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 20.86650053432 days.
