The Federation of New Sciacca is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Minnana Pyknos with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, prohibition of alcohol, and public floggings. The compassionate, devout population of 2.307 billion New Sciaccans 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 Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scoia. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Sciaccan economy, worth 162 trillion Piannis a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,573 Piannis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's more hugging than talking in most talk shows, cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry, nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths, and the art of conversation has been rediscovered. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Sciacca's national animal is the itallian cave salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

New Sciacca is ranked 48,496^th in the world and 983^rd in The East Pacific for Most Beautiful Environments, with 694.03 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
