The Empire of Great Scapula is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Dher with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate population of 21.376 billion great scapulans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vikaland. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient great scapulan economy, worth a remarkable 3,477 trillion golds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 162,679 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prodigal children celebrate as charitable bequests plummet, gay couples have to travel to Brancaland to find a church that will actually let them wed, the nation was recently voted as the most stylish in the South Pacific, and Dher can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Great Scapula's national animal is the white deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the cult to Vika.

Great Scapula is ranked 7,319^th in the world and 180^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 474.33 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
