The Empire of Great Scapula is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Dher with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate population of 21.294 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 3,474 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 163,170 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the great scapulan Space Agency, funny-looking kids are stood at the front of the classroom for everybody to point and laugh at, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, and prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet. 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 3,710^th in the world and 106^th in the South Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,739.6 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
