The Textbooks of The Scholar is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Curriculum with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.06 billion Scholarians 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Classroom. The average income tax rate is 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Scholarian economy, worth 436 trillion scores a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Gambling industry. Average income is an impressive 142,675 scores, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.

Requests for government aid can be forwarded to the beach, the media seems excessively interested in what Curriculum is wearing this season, pregnancy tests are under fire from the government for being marketed only to women, and anyone with an emergency on a holy day is advised to pray harder. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Scholar's national animal is the school lunch, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Education.

The Scholar is ranked 22,915^th in the world and 38^th in Panama Papers for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 3,087.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
