The Theocracy of Scripturia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Jesus with an even hand, and renowned for its triple-decker prams, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 2.759 billion Scripturians are prohibited from doing almost everything but make sure no one in government gets away with anything either.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Temple of God. The average income tax rate is 88.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Scripturian economy, worth 133 trillion Ephass of Barley a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 48,280 Ephass of Barley, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, prisons in Scripturia are the summer homes of murderers, and kindhearted Scripturians generously pay taxes for citizens of other countries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scripturia's national animal is the God's Creation, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Scripturia is ranked 7,797^th in the world and 22^nd in Christians for Nicest Citizens, with 36.23 average smiles per day.
