The Supreme Imperium of Second Scratch Empire is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Chen with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, daily referendums, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 2.323 billion Imperialans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The large government prioritizes Law & Order, although Education, Administration, and Defense are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Province of New Coley. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Imperialan economy, worth 229 trillion Standard-Imperial Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 98,716 Standard-Imperial Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, school kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, the arms industry is strictly regulated, and conscripts often volunteer for a second tour of duty so they can get a ticket to next year's Army Revue. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Second Scratch Empire's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Non-existent.
Second Scratch Empire is ranked 36,794th in the world and 149th in Refugia for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,549.07 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
