The Mansion of Doc Scratch is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Doc Scratch with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 31.374 billion Felts are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Green Moon. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient a Felt economy, worth a remarkable 3,735 trillion Greenbacks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 119,052 Greenbacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tradesmen will knock 10% off their fees if customers pay cash, the tightness of border controls in Doc Scratch leave a little to be desired, welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, and retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Doc Scratch's national animal is the Troll, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Doc Scratch is ranked 17,200^th in the world and 3^rd in Homestuck for Highest Poor Incomes, with 98,124.19 Standard Monetary Units.
