The Peacebringer of Eastern New Scotland is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Marcus with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 8.523 billion Nova Scotians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Social Policy. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dartmouth. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Nova Scotian economy, worth 252 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,644 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Works of historical fiction contain a surprising lack of historical figures, the countryside is shrouded by wind farms, survivors receive aid from only the most environmentally-friendly transport, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Eastern New Scotland's national animal is the osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Eastern New Scotland is ranked 73,169^th in the world and 31^st in South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 69.59 law-abiding acts per hour.
