The Haugen Matriarchy of St Scarlett is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Misty Rygg with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, pith helmet sales, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 13.137 billion Skarlagens enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rubin. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skarlagen economy, worth a remarkable 1,987 trillion Vixes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,294 Vixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, the government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, and angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Scarlett's national animal is the Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Skarlagen Catholicism.

St Scarlett is ranked 20,582^nd in the world and 307^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,929.59 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
