The Empire of Scaletta is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Vito Scaletta with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.059 billion Scalettans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Empire Bay. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Scalettan economy, worth a remarkable 1,286 trillion SE Credits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,375 SE Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Rumor has it that Vito Scaletta has won three lotteries in a row, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Vito Scaletta, and scientists are researching the best way to kill off humanity to prevent catastrophic war. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scaletta's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Scaletta is ranked 185,614th in the world and 776th in Europeia for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 31,770.41 Standard Monetary Units.
