The Protectorate of Schuld is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 6.882 billion Schuldians 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 relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The strong Schuldian economy, worth 223 trillion guilders a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 32,435 guilders, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 209,047 per year while the poor average 2,033, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Schuld's national animal is the dove, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Schuld is ranked 249,084^th in the world and 1^st in Togetsu for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.9 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
