The United States of Schiaparelli is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic population of 185 million Schiaparellians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Schiaparellian economy, worth 12.9 trillion AICS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 69,696 AICS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Sexually-starved male dinosaurs terrorise tourists during weekly breakouts from Mesozoic Park, discarded pennies litter the streets, political dissidents are cut off from essential services, and several citizens have complained about scientists abducting their pets for experimentation. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schiaparelli's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Schiaparelli is ranked 53,757^th in the world and 635^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,072.45 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
