The Kingdom of Scithya is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 503 million Scithyans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Law & Order, although Welfare, Education, and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 79.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but sluggish Scithyan economy, worth 14.6 trillion cashes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 28,985 cashes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The nation's black ops are starting to get on people's nerves, police officers that upset their bosses get assigned to 24 hour stakeouts of bike sheds, convicted felons are forced into slavery for their crimes, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scithya's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Scithya is ranked 54,345th in the world and 674th in the Pacific for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 1,385.31 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
