The People's Republic of Scotsaint is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 352 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 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Scotsaintian economy, worth 31.8 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 and Book Publishing. Average income is 90,247 Scotsaint Chervonets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The derisively named "Morlocks of Moria" futilely demand time in the sun, murderers with law degrees can be seen swinging the gavel in courts, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, and the mouth-frothing Scotsaintian can be confused for a rabid horse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 293,892nd in the world and 2,033rd in the Rejected Realms for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,422.42 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
