The Protruding Eyes of Scurvy Knaves is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 16.453 billion Scurvy Knaves are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scorbutus. The average income tax rate is 54.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Scurvy Knavesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,702 trillion Golden limes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Trout Farming, Soda Sales, Gambling, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 103,487 Golden limes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

National park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, all recreational drugs are legal, the carbon footprint falls along with the human footprint during war, and soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Scurvy Knaves's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Scurvious Voodoo Lime Whoreship.

Scurvy Knaves is ranked 274,093^rd in the world and 4^th in The Greatest Freak Show on Earth for Safest, scoring 6.73 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
