The Glorious Empire of Scogovina is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Imperator with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, prohibition of alcohol, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.047 billion Scogovinans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kronus. The average income tax rate is 72.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Scogovinan economy, worth 748 trillion Krakovniis 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 large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. 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 82,773 Krakovniis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hazmat suits are a common Scogovinan garb, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, the government burgles the houses of holidaying citizens, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scogovina's national animal is the Sloth bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Imperatorius.

Scogovina is ranked 46,188^th in the world and 833^rd in the South Pacific for Largest Governments, scoring 23.17 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
