The Federation of Scythia-Rus is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Heather Chandelier with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.2 billion Scythia-Rusians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Martin. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Scythia-Rusian economy, worth 136 trillion revans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Average income is an impressive 113,457 revans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, photographers have to apply for a license to photograph Heather Chandelier, party leaders rely on horoscopes to create "ticket balance", and rioting during the nation's hosting of ORDER caused one million revans of property damage. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scythia-Rus's national animal is the peregrine falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

Scythia-Rus is ranked 5,120^th in the world and 6^th in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 130.67 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
