The People's Republic of Scotsaint is a very large, efficient nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 376 million Scotsaintians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Saint Andrew. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Scotsaintian economy, worth 34.0 trillion Scotsaint Chervonets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology. Average income is 90,350 Scotsaint Chervonets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A proud mining community is considering a rebellion after the Capital officially renamed them 'District XII', they who do not work shall not eat, the government has cut taxes in the face of widespread tax evasion, and government officials are held to the highest standard of morality. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scotsaint's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scotsaint is ranked 23,424^th in the world and 279^th in the Rejected Realms for Nicest Citizens, with 21.78 average smiles per day.
