The Plains Swamp of Scrubland- is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 5.86 billion Scrubland-ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Scrubland-ian economy, worth 577 trillion lands a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,543 lands, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nanny industry has had a boom after maternity leave was recently banned, the sun now sets on the Scrubland-ian Empire, recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scrubland-'s national animal is the dual, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Scrubland- is ranked 131,812th in the world and 1,997th in Artificial Solar System for Most Influential, scoring 123 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
