Flag of Scottian Commonwealth
The Constitutional Monarchy of Scottian Commonwealth is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 439 million Scottians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The relatively small government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Public Transport are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Aberdeen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 26.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Scottian economy, worth 50.5 trillion Scottian Pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 114,990 Scottian Pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.
Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, tax assessment offices double as polling stations, and 1% of global paper production is bound for the National Archive. Crime is totally unknown. Scottian Commonwealth's national animal is the Scottish Terrier, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
