The Timbered Parliament of Psiloscops is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by an Owl with an even hand, and notable for its digital currency, state-planned economy, and lack of airports. The compassionate population of 2.79 billion Psiloscops are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kournia. The average income tax rate is 92.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Psiloscopsian economy, worth 300 trillion Barrings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 107,730 Barrings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, weekends are spent tilting at windmills, the nation is known as the cheapskates of Europe, and 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of Psiloscops's radio stations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Psiloscops's national animal is the Flammulated Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Psiloscops is ranked 294,653^rd in the world and 748^th in Europe for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -10.66 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
