The Republic of Scivonia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Frederick Meisz with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, devout population of 17.483 billion Scivonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Borea Kraslava. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scivonian economy, worth a remarkable 3,619 trillion Re'als a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 207,018 Re'als, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Welfare recipients are milking the government for all they've got, the new classical revitalization of Borea Kraslava is expected to be completed sometime in the next century, on graduation day the hats thrown in the air fly high enough to stun passing pigeons, and planes can be grounded for months simply because an inspector "didn't like the color". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Scivonia's national animal is the Black Edged Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Scivonia is ranked 288,753rd in the world and 1,432nd in Europe for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -24.37 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
