The Republic of EHTYCSCYTHE is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and parental licensing program. The quiet, industrious population of 1.043 billion Scythians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hub Prime. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scythian economy, worth 100 trillion Scies a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,406 Scies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, vats of anabolic steroids are being dumped into the ocean to make Scythian mussels the biggest in The East Pacific, referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population, and Quadcopter is one of the most popular forenames in EHTYCSCYTHE. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. EHTYCSCYTHE's national animal is the Quadcopter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

EHTYCSCYTHE is ranked 76,093^rd in the world and 2,617^th in The East Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,299.57 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
