The Democratic States of Natural Sciences is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, lack of airports, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.363 billion Natural Sciencesians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Natural Sciences City. The average income tax rate is 89.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Natural Sciencesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,540 trillion terras a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,163 terras, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Producers insist that movie stars wear crash helmets in every scene, politicians have tenure, the pursuit of wanted criminals ends at the entrance of the pay'n'spray garage as police refuse to enter any private property, and there's no representation without taxation. Crime is totally unknown. Natural Sciences's national animal is the orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
