The Wonderful Thing of Sicias is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Wade Lockett with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 10.238 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sicia. The average income tax rate is 22.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sician economy, worth a remarkable 1,521 trillion Sankris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 148,596 Sankris, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Remarriage vows include hefty travel expenses, economics is a shrinking field, asylum seekers have voted Sicias as best layover destination, and the nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street. 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 61,533^rd in the world and 27^th in Union of Allied States for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 4,592.42 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
