The Confederation of Scow Creek is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Tunís Qorsa with a fair hand, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.87 billion Sqoáns hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Environment, with Industry, Healthcare, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Law & Order and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Er'su-nedes. The average income tax rate is 13.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Scow Creekian economy, worth 622 trillion Míls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 90,642 Míls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
Administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, Tunís Qorsa's recent "I have a dream that we will fight them by raking muck on the beaches" speech seems a little derivative to many, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, and anti-government political posters adorn every building like wallpaper. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Scow Creek's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Scow Creek is ranked 258,471st in the world and 1,560th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -5.48 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
