The Empire of Scus Dom is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Charlotte Ahmed with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, infamous sell-swords, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 5.49 billion Scus domians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scutopia. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scus Domian economy, worth 972 trillion Domen a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 177,224 Domen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', religious turf wars have caused frustrated police to pray for divine intervention, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scus Dom's national animal is the Blue falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Followers of the one true falcon.

Scus Dom is ranked 111,530th in the world and 20th in Merciam for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,382.62 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
