The Republic of Scp-073 is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its complete absence of social welfare and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.696 billion Scp-073ians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business, outspoken government is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Education, Public Transport, and Administration are also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The very strong Scp-073ian economy, worth 478 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 49,352 lire, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 207,654 per year while the poor average 7,611, a ratio of 27.3 to 1.

Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Scp-073's national animal is the emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Scp-073 is ranked 273,012^th in the world and 11^th in Leftwing for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -5.55 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
