The Federation of New Sciacca is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Minnana Pyknos with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 2.229 billion New Sciaccans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scoia. The average income tax rate is 53.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming New Sciaccan economy, worth 156 trillion Piannis a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 70,408 Piannis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grannies with arthritic hands work miserably on factory production lines, the NSBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, in government offices a hidden killer takes the lives of ministers and civil servants, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Sciacca's national animal is the itallian cave salamander, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

New Sciacca is ranked 63,237^th in the world and 1,266^th in The East Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
