The Yours Sincerely of Scogda is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Scott Darnley with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 958 million Scogdags are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ttocs. The average income tax rate is 35.4%.

The Scogdalek economy, worth 56.5 trillion Debacles a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 58,990 Debacles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Internet moderator is one of the most popular jobs among the nation's more socially awkward citizens, Lord Scott Darnley's office is running a trade deficit of midnight oil, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Lord Scott Darnley to meetings with foreign heads of state, and the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Scogda are highly popular tourist destinations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scogda's national animal is the Scodagger Magpie, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Scogda is ranked 100,571^st in the world and 2,199^th in the South Pacific for Most Secular, with 17.34 Atheism Rate.
