The Democratic Republic of Scyne is a very large, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 277 million Scyneans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Far. The average income tax rate is 50.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Scynean economy, worth 23.4 trillion Escudoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,503 Escudoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The moon's craters are more numerous every day, families burn Leader's latest official photograph to keep warm, time flies when you're not having fun, and Leader has no checks and balances after the upper house was abolished. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scyne's national animal is the Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scyne is ranked 42,382^nd in the world and 423^rd in Europe for Highest Poor Incomes, with 61,660.58 Standard Monetary Units.
