The Dictatorship of Sciegisse is a small, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 20 million Sciegisseans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The weak Sciegissean economy, worth 587 billion marks 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 29,392 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nudity is frowned upon, Harry Potter books are banned, gambling is outlawed, and singles on the dating scene no longer worry about looking their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sciegisse's national animal is the dolphin.

Sciegisse is ranked 149,985^th in the world and 4^th in The Region of Nothing for Highest Poor Incomes, with 23,872.29 Standard Monetary Units.
