The Great Kingdom of Scarpland is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Lord with an iron fist, and notable for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 4.616 billion Scarpish are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scarpington. The average income tax rate is 83.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scarpish economy, worth 614 trillion Scarpish Minoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 133,159 Scarpish Minoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

"Lord got your tongue?" has become a popular idiom, deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, police drones follow every suspected Peeping Tom, and cops with assault weaponry are forcing their way into private homes to search for terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scarpland's national animal is the Markhor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scarpland is ranked 233,720^th in the world and 8,763^rd in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 21,838.16 Standard Monetary Units.
