The Federation of Scientificum is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Neon Geoglowitius with an iron fist, and renowned for its national health service, digital currency, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical, cheerful population of 27.438 billion Scientists are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lilaholm. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Scientist economy, worth an astonishing 19,210 trillion Kronor a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is a breathtaking 700,146 Kronor, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,909,303 per year while the poor average 110,304, a ratio of 26.4 to 1.

The best defense is a good fence, human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scientificum's national animal is the Nuubly, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Science.

Scientificum is ranked 54,632nd in the world and 3rd in Polandball for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 4,505.21 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
