The Glorious Empire of Scogovina is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Imperator with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, strictly enforced bedtime, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.621 billion Scogovinans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronus. The average income tax rate is 70.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Scogovinan economy, worth a remarkable 1,116 trillion Krakovniis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 88,445 Krakovniis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales, the education system has gotten a recent boost in spending, mathematicians are hated by children across the country, and acupuncture is routinely prescribed for intravenous drug addicts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scogovina's national animal is the Sloth bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperatorius.

Scogovina is ranked 173,883^rd in the world and 2,220^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 157.63 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
