The Empire of Scandrial is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Lord Conqueror with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, vat-grown people, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.917 billion Skaa are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, although Law & Order and Education are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Nexus of a Thousand Spires. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Skaa economy, worth a remarkable 8,874 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 637,651 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.
The practice of capital punishment proves divisive, jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, and children have nightmares about the eerie red glow and constant whirring of newly-installed machines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scandrial's national animal is the crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Scandrial is ranked 10,195th in the world and 152nd in The East Pacific for Most Stationary, with 2,335.010137537 days.
