The Nutoctatic kingdom of Scratlantis is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Scratus the great with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.612 billion Scratlantidans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Welfare, Healthcare, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nutropolis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.5%.

The powerhouse Scratlantidan economy, worth 401 trillion Acorn leaves a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,072 Acorn leaves, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho), the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, and many politicians carry out their morning ablutions in public restrooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Scratlantis's national animal is the Scrattus Nuttus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The philosophy of the acorn.

Scratlantis is ranked 104,725^th in the world and 1^st in Scratlantis for Highest Poor Incomes, with 29,565.52 Standard Monetary Units.
