The Republic of Earth Sci-chan is a mid-sized, pleasant nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 56 million chikyuujins 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 15.3%.

The strong chikyuujin economy, worth 2.88 trillion chikyuus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 51,402 chikyuus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Military funding has been stripped back, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, and nudity is frowned upon. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Earth Sci-chan's national animal is the monkey-crab, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Earth Sci-chan is ranked 193,847^th in the world and 14^th in Chat Club for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 298.85 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
