The Kingdom of Scintillia is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.364 billion Scintillians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 64.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Scintillian economy, worth 88.4 trillion Dominions a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,839 Dominions, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's nuclear defence policy is to "turn the other cheek", schoolboys who turn to watch pretty girls go by are given detention, diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, and in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scintillia's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scintillia is ranked 229,267^th in the world and 8,564^th in Osiris for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 23,018.18 Standard Monetary Units.
