The Free Utopia of Sciu is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.657 billion Scia are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Environment, and Administration also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 85.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scia economy, worth 677 trillion bilets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 119,766 bilets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The undead are an officially recognised ethnic minority (Sciu has found 1 easter egg), government ministers sport new billboards that read 'Will Trade Votes for Private Members' Bill Support', the overhead luggage compartment is often full, and the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded. Crime is totally unknown. Sciu's national animal is the goliath frog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sciu is ranked 82,908th in the world and 4,428th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
