The Democratic Republic of Scyne is a very large, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 330 million Scyneans 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Far. The average income tax rate is 55.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Scynean economy, worth 29.5 trillion Kaunas a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,300 Kaunas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, untold millions of Kaunas are going into a new government-funded maternity leave scheme, the nation's space program is doxxing the planet, and scientists are terrified of fabulous new breakthroughs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Scyne's national animal is the Pangolin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Scyne is ranked 166,128^th in the world and 688^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 619.74 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
