The Community of High scarron is a large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 92 million High scarronians 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 Education, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient High scarronian economy, worth 3.57 trillion lights a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Gambling. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,852 lights, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, prison visits increase substantially during election years, and Leader tells rebellious ministers to "drop and give me twenty". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. High scarron's national animal is the parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

High scarron is ranked 256,853^rd in the world and 93^rd in Hive for Largest Populations, with 92.0 million capita.
