The Science People of Sholtan is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Dr Heinz Doofenschmirtz with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.712 billion Sholt are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, well-organized government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Industry, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Techtopia. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sholtan economy, worth 857 trillion sholts 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 98,461 sholts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Reddish-brown is the new black, a suspicious number of male students have joined the Ladies' Wrestling League, the wreckages of bombed planes that litter Sholtan are highly popular tourist destinations, and Sholt visiting rural Southern Android Assistant Village can get their driving records clean for a small fee. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sholtan's national animal is the Android Assistant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Scientific.

Sholtan is ranked 107,206^th in the world and 10^th in The Empires And Republics Of Power for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,807.72 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
