The Reality TV Show of Scownyland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Big Brother with an even hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 15.907 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scownyville. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

Several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Big Brother's bedroom. Crime is totally unknown. Scownyland's national animal is the Non Celebrity, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Triganic Pu.
