The Empire of New Scottika is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Duce with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, otherworldly petting zoo, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 22.652 billion New Scottikans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scottlingrad. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Scottikan economy, worth a remarkable 9,148 trillion Scottikanmarks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 403,869 Scottikanmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

When their backs are against the walls New Scottikans look out for gay men, politicians are losing their jobs in a plan to make the government 'leaner and fitter', the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", and parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Scottika's national animal is the Great White Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Scottika is ranked 155,247th in the world and 1,812th in the West Pacific for Most Average, scoring 36.84 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
