The Yours Sincerely of Atolls of Scodalek is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lord Scott Darnley with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 2.72 billion Scodalekins are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ttocs. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Scodalekaan economy, worth 93.2 trillion Debacles a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,246 Debacles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Class clowns are frequently listed among the most dangerous criminals in the nation, parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, the internal market is thriving, and the fattest folk in Atolls of Scodalek look to be the happiest ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Atolls of Scodalek's national animal is the Snotty Nose Dolphin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Great Scott.

Atolls of Scodalek is ranked 151,300th in the world and 3rd in Cold Shoulder for Most Conservative, scoring 53.38 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
