The Haugen Matriarchy of St Scarlett is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Astrid Haugen with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 6.675 billion Skarlagens enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rubin. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Skarlagen economy, worth 994 trillion Vixes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 148,913 Vixes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

St Scarlett is building an army to protect its overseas territories, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, Formula One cars in St Scarlett boast 56 miles per gallon, and kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Scarlett's national animal is the Arctic Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Skarlagen Catholicism.

St Scarlett is ranked 25,252^nd in the world and 205^th in Europe for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,686.43 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
