The Oppressed Peoples of Scuffleopolis is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by A Hungry Bear with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, infamous sell-swords, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.581 billion Scufflers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry and Spirituality are also considered important, while Environment and Education are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District 1. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 13.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Scuffling economy, worth a remarkable 1,833 trillion Saltine Crackers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 278,534 Saltine Crackers, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,146,765 per year while the poor average 9,607, a ratio of 223 to 1.

When it comes to smarts A Hungry Bear isn't the brightest gem in the collection, flatulent people are left to die of cancer at the end of hospital waiting lists, the automobile industry is sitting up and taking notice of the new 24 hour race events... as are the track's sleepless neighbours, and police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Scuffleopolis's national animal is the Potato, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is God Is Dead And The Bear Ate Him.

Scuffleopolis is ranked 260,901^st in the world and 1,576^th in 10000 Islands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -38.73 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
