The Federal Republic of Skorpiie is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and pith helmet sales. The hard-working population of 746 million Skorpiens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tirana. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Skorpiiean economy, worth 50.0 trillion Skopielars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Cheese Exports, and Trout Farming. Average income is 67,035 Skopielars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers are equipped with multi-million Skopielar battlesuits, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, government opponents tend to have their patents rejected immediately, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Skorpiie's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Skorpiie is ranked 213,961^st in the world and 1,083^rd in Europe for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 193.89 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
