The Most Serene Republic of Gran Scotia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Howard James Mippets with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 17.288 billion Gran Scotians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Johnsonville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Gran Scotian economy, worth a remarkable 6,845 trillion Scotian Guineas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 395,990 Scotian Guineas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,344,758 per year while the poor average 86,027, a ratio of 15.6 to 1.

A weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, when you fly on Air Gran Scotia you win a seat or you die, Sir Howard James Mippets steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and a crusade against barbaric religious practices has begun. Crime is totally unknown. Gran Scotia's national animal is the European Wildcat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant Christianity.

Gran Scotia is ranked 165,086th in the world and 3,364th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 117.1135708806 days.
