The Dominion of Scunia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Murdoch Fugler with an iron fist, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.531 billion Scunians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tego. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Scunian economy, worth a remarkable 2,392 trillion Tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 207,459 Tokens, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, gambling is outlawed, police spend their Saturday nights breaking up illegal street races, and extraordinary rendition is nothing out of the ordinary. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Scunia's national animal is the Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Christianity.

Scunia is ranked 289,517^th in the world and 6,357^th in The North Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 3.37 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
