The Scooby Doo Enthusiasts of The Sapientia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Council of Artists with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, ritual sacrifices, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 15.397 billion Sicarii are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Las Sapient. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Sicarian economy, worth a remarkable 2,845 trillion Golden Baht a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 184,834 Golden Baht, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,676,193 per year while the poor average 2,381, a ratio of 703 to 1.

Comedians who make offensive jokes have their ticket proceeds seized, exceptionally healthy police officers can sprint after crooks for hours on end, skyscrapers get built in just days, and police nightsticks see use all day long. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sapientia's national animal is the Scoobert Doobert, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Artist Worship.

The Sapientia is ranked 275,660th in the world and 203rd in The Brotherhood of Malice for Most Primitive, scoring -334.61 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
