The Federation of Scientocrastan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.259 billion Scientocrastanians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Welfare also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scientocracity. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scientocrastanian economy, worth 345 trillion bitcoins a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 105,997 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Goldilocks has found a lucrative career as a zoning consultant, politicians can be condescending (which by the way means "showing an attitude of patronising superiority"), in the mighty jungle the lion once again sleeps tonight, and giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Leader is a silly poophead. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scientocrastan's national animal is the orangutan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scientocrastan is ranked 34,501st in the world and 4th in The Apolean Frontiers for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 71.88 Effective Tax Rate.
