The Scalepile of Yissing Scalies is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Bigger Hungrier Dragon with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 43.974 billion Yissing Scaliesians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Egg Shelf. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Yissing Scaliesian economy, worth a remarkable 8,885 trillion Chronautius -es a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 202,051 Chronautius -es, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, signs stating "You Must be This Tall to Enter" have started appearing outside retirement homes, weapons are only sold to foreign governments that are legitimate enough to not bounce the cheque, and taking hostages is a great way to influence government policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Yissing Scalies's national animal is the Snuggly Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Inescapable Torment.

Yissing Scalies is ranked 177^th in the world and 1^st in FurNation for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 59,904.65 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
