The Empire of Sciency Advancement is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Keftan with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate population of 16.683 billion Sciency Advances enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scientific Progress. The average income tax rate is 93.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sciency economy, worth a remarkable 4,931 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 295,580 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, trains and passengers alike are often late, printing out government documents requires the approval of at least three admins, and scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway. Crime is totally unknown. Sciency Advancement's national animal is the Dogoo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sciency Advancement is ranked 241,603^rd in the world and 9,338^th in Lazarus for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,508.29 Standard Monetary Units.
