The Federal Republic of Skorpiie is a huge, safe nation, notable for its pith helmet sales and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 589 million Skorpiens 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirana. The average income tax rate is 22.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Skorpiiean economy, worth 39.0 trillion Skopielars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 66,165 Skopielars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Soldiers are equipped with multi-million Skopielar battlesuits, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skorpiie's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Skorpiie is ranked 150,093rd in the world and 480th in Europe for Most Primitive, scoring -48.99 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
