The United Union of Central Sciacca is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.001 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Gambling industries.
Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, eight year-olds can be seen lighting up in public areas, students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, and senior citizens can usually be found doing heavy manual labour. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Central Sciacca's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the dollar.
Allies & Enemies
Along with The Primeau Islands, Central Sciacca has built strong relations with La provincia di roma.
Diplomatic ties with Central Sciacca's bordering neighbor, Ressia, have been totally cut off due to the inability of the two countries to agree on anything and the hostile ambitions of Ressia.
