The Incorporated States of The Scout is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 5.162 billion Scoutians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.2%.

The Scoutian economy, worth 227 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,020 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, museum employees look down on short people, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and pristine wilderness has been trashed in the quest for cheaper oil. Crime is moderate. The Scout's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

The Scout is ranked 216,075^th in the world and 1^st in TF2 for Safest, scoring 52.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
