The Democratic States of Sciccarian is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, devout population of 192 million Sciccarianians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sciccarianian economy, worth 9.91 trillion Sczis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,592 Sczis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, anti-government web sites are springing up, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and voting is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sciccarian's national animal is the Sciccarian Buffalo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sciccarian is ranked 60,271^st in the world and 1,292^nd in the Rejected Realms for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 513.95 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
