The Wonderful Thing of Sicias is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Wade Lockett with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, pith helmet sales, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.084 billion Sicians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sicia. The average income tax rate is 18.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Sician economy, worth a remarkable 1,492 trillion Sankris a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 148,021 Sankris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, future leaders of Sicias regularly dismiss pressing political issues when available options don't conform to their worldview, and sex offenders find themselves cut off from the ability to repeat their crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sicias's national animal is the Pegasus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Protestant.

Sicias is ranked 126,592^nd in the world and 45^th in Union of Allied States for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 952.41 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
