“Non ducor, duco”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Empire of Great Scapula is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dher with an even hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 21.287 billion great scapulans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vikaland. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient great scapulan economy, worth a remarkable 3,466 trillion golds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,853 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, halberds are common 18th birthday presents, and returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Scapula's national animal is the white deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the cult to Vika.

Great Scapula is ranked 288,131^st in the world and 5,378^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -20.49 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
