The Island of Sicilia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Don Corleone with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 23.059 billion Sicilians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palermo. The average income tax rate is 80.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sicilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,136 trillion Lire a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,648 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Smoking is banned in public areas, death row inmates cower in fear at the phrase "one-year anniversary", the nation's children are known for being even more apathetic and cynical than their parents, and armed war-criminals gain asylum if deemed 'fabulous' enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sicilia's national animal is the Olive, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cosa Nostra.

Sicilia is ranked 169,828^th in the world and 7,401^st in Balder for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 57.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
