The People's Republic of Redsccot is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 93 million Redsccotians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.7%.

The strong Redsccotian economy, worth 5.44 trillion redcashes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 58,453 redcashes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 376,737 per year while the poor average 3,664, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Redsccot's national animal is the tiger.

Redsccot is ranked 217,685^th in the world and 285^th in Edoca for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 47.12 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
