The Commonwealth of Skarlagen Treaties is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Arctic Fox population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.336 billion Skarlagen Treatiesians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 13.5%.

The Skarlagen Treatiesian economy, worth 669 trillion Vixes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Tourism, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 59,076 Vixes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Military spending is on the increase, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, the tenet of free speech is held dear, and exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting. Crime is well under control. Skarlagen Treaties's national animal is the Arctic Fox.

Skarlagen Treaties is ranked 163,448^th in the world and 140^th in Thaecia for Most Patriotic, with 7.75 flags saluted per person per day.
