The Republic of Scartap is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Me with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, avowedly heterosexual populace, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.732 billion Scartapians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dnert. The average income tax rate is 26.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Scartapian economy, worth 205 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 118,616 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Bins outnumber trees in city parks, businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, atheistic refugees haven't got a prayer of being granted asylum, and the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Scartap's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Quandale Dingle.

Scartap is ranked 146,939^th in the world and 761^st in Europe for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 433.98 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
