The Jingoistic States of Schevia is a huge, safe nation, notable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 581 million Schevians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.6%.

The strong Schevian economy, worth 29.0 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 49,996 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

The well-off can quite literally buy extra votes, just as students finish their homework it's time for school, immigrants who don't like the taste of Schevian Turnip Chips are immediately deported, and foreign lack of enthusiasm for Schevian nose-flute disco metal is seen as a reasonable casus belli. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schevia's national animal is the falcon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Schevia is ranked 167,151^st in the world and 1^st in Micemese for Highest Average Incomes, with 49,996.19 Standard Monetary Units.
