The Mortality of The Scythedom is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by High blade Curie with an even hand, and remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The democratic population of 1.393 billion Scythes are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Fulcrum City. The average income tax rate is 38.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient a Scythe economy, worth 48.0 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,438 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military is researching proton packs and PK-meters to combat "unseen enemy forces", teams of painters are converting road signs from horse lengths to kilometers, tombstones are ten feet high to accommodate the names of inhabitants, and the hills are alive with the smell of burning flesh. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Scythedom's national animal is the Skink, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Tonism.

The Scythedom is ranked 236,089^th in the world and 406^th in Starlight for Most Developed, scoring 52.31 on the Human Development Index.
