The Empire of New Scottika is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duce with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, enslaved workforce, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 21.541 billion New Scottikans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scottlingrad. The average income tax rate is 3.6%.

The frighteningly efficient New Scottikan economy, worth a remarkable 7,165 trillion Scottikanmarks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 332,633 Scottikanmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, criminals rejoice in the streets as the entire police force is sent away on a training retreat, the nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, and nuclear submarines have been deployed to protect the nation's banana supply. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. New Scottika's national animal is the Great White Shark, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

New Scottika is ranked 4,446^th in the world and 80^th in the West Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,488.97 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
