The Republic of Scientia Major is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Council of the Republic with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, public floggings, and avant-garde cinema. The compassionate, humorless population of 23.832 billion Scientians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysion. The average income tax rate is 69.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Scientian economy, worth a remarkable 3,421 trillion scients a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 143,551 scients, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

Public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, maximum security Scientian subway stations inspire prison systems around the world, the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption, and justice is blinding. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scientia Major's national animal is the Scientian stag, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scientia Major is ranked 16,041^st in the world and 11^th in Capitalist Paradise for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
