The Dominion of Scunia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Murdoch Fugler with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, complete lack of prisons, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.765 billion Scunians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tego. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Scunian economy, worth a remarkable 2,656 trillion Tokens 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 208,147 Tokens, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

What citizens give with one hand they take away with the other, all the playground's a stage for Scunian schoolchildren, love is given from each according to their ability but marriage is assigned to each according to their needs, and students who refuse to pray are expelled from school. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Scunia's national animal is the Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Christianity.

Scunia is ranked 9,791^st in the world and 300^th in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 208,147.05 Standard Monetary Units.
