The Free Land of Studious is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.032 billion Studiousians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Biblioteca. The average income tax rate is 24.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Studiousian economy, worth 223 trillion Books a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 109,957 Books, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands, and the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity. Crime is totally unknown. Studious's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Studious is ranked 45,909^th in the world and 489^th in the Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,026.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
