The Two Kingdoms of Down Scoblic is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by First Lady Aonn with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 3.583 billion Scoblese 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Regalona. The average income tax rate is 92.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scoblese economy, worth 669 trillion North Regional Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,774 North Regional Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The writing style of religious hymns often changes mid-stanza, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons, and political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Down Scoblic's national animal is the Mourning Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zephyrism.

Down Scoblic is ranked 5,744^th in the world and 288^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 530.09 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
