The Lancer of Scathach is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Scathach with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 5.456 billion Scathachians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Reson. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Scathachian economy, worth a remarkable 1,169 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 214,408 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
On graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, wind farms are erected on shuttered oil platforms, crowded passenger trains are near-silent save for the soft tap of fingers on touchscreens, and hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have. Crime is totally unknown. Scathach's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Scathach is ranked 29,722nd in the world and 50th in Ambition for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 74.35 Effective Tax Rate.
