The Free Land of Studious is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 2.212 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 27.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Studiousian economy, worth 260 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 117,737 Books, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, Leader's campaign events reach their climax when the celebrity endorsers reveal themselves, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Studious's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Studious is ranked 27,494^th in the world and 455^th in the Pacific for Most Secular, with 34.17 Atheism Rate.
