The Empire of Scandrial is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by The Lord Conqueror with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and digital currency. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.017 billion Skaa 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Law & Order and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Nexus of a Thousand Spires. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Skaa economy, worth a remarkable 8,964 trillion bitcoins 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. 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 a breathtaking 639,574 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

90% of active duty SAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, fitness to teach sport is proven by urinating the furthest up a wall, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and high-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scandrial's national animal is the crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Scandrial is ranked 606^th in the world and 12^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 187.66 law-abiding acts per hour.
