The People's Republic of Scotsaint is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its frequent executions, complete lack of prisons, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 513 million Scotsaintians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Saint Andrew. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Scotsaintian economy, worth 45.6 trillion Scotsaint Chervonets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 88,948 Scotsaint Chervonets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lifeguards are stationed on the streets during rainstorms, onions have been banned due to their tendency to cause eye irritation, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scotsaint's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scotsaint is ranked 191,835th in the world and 1,340th in the Rejected Realms for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -3 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
