The Republic of New Ciencia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Andreas Geiger with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.532 billion Ciencians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tudomany. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ciencian economy, worth a remarkable 5,204 trillion bitcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an amazing 335,062 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government employees have reverted to carrier pigeon due to never-ending virus scans, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, Prime Minister Andreas Geiger's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, and libraries are bulldozed to make way for internet cafés. Crime is totally unknown. New Ciencia's national animal is the moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Ciencia is ranked 292,856^th in the world and 11^th in Realm of Unrestricted Science for Most Primitive, scoring -1806.91 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
