The Democratic Republic of Scaney is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jebbi with an even hand, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 13.84 billion Scaneyians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Raccoon City. The average income tax rate is 87.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scaneyian economy, worth a remarkable 1,204 trillion kronor a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,053 kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Knitting needles have been banned in the name of public safety, Max Barry is this year's Miss Scaney, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scaney's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scaney is ranked 8,503^rd in the world and 190^th in the Rejected Realms for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,009.73 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
