The Free Land of Studious is a massive, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 2.057 billion Studiousians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Biblioteca. The average income tax rate is 26.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Studiousian economy, worth 241 trillion Books 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 major contributions from Trout Farming, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 117,561 Books, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Subsistence farmers require doctorates in applied sowing, politicians no longer click with dating app matches, sullen teenagers in bright orange 'community payback' onesies can be seen picking litter at the roadside, and the Foreign Ministry thinks an eye for an eye is a blindingly good idea. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Studious's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Studious is ranked 84,375^th in the world and 636^th in the Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,166.64 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
