The Scientific Supremacy of The Walled Cities is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by AGITAR with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, soft-spoken computers, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.195 billion Walled Citizens are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Industry, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aegis. The average income tax rate is 87.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Walled Citiesian economy, worth 188 trillion Ciphers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 157,381 Ciphers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, and NationStates is now a popular brand of laxatives despite Max Barry's protests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Walled Cities's national animal is the Robotic Lifeform, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Antitheism.

The Walled Cities is ranked 11,066^th in the world and 263^rd in the South Pacific for Smartest Citizens, with 91.2 quips per hour.
