The Crowned Republics of Down Scoblic is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by President Kelini with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 8.737 billion Scoblese have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Regalona. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Scoblese economy, worth a remarkable 1,954 trillion North Regional Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 223,702 North Regional Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Welfare recipients frequently parlay checks into homelessness, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, the nation's holy places are littered with doughnut crumbs, and buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Down Scoblic's national animal is the Miori, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Edenism.

Down Scoblic is ranked 203,492nd in the world and 2,851st in The North Pacific for Highest Drug Use, scoring 95.83 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
