Myocardia, officially the Scientific Republic of Myocardia, is a nation located in the region Science. It is noted for its comprehensive education system, its researchers' contributions to science and its high standard of living. Myocardia is often criticized for its heavy subsidization of industry and for what some call its irresponsible environmental policies.

Demographics
With a population of over 2.1 billion, Myocardia is its region's eighth largest nation (out of a total of twenty four). English is spoken by most residents and all citizens. Other major languages include Spanish, spoken by 38% of Myocardials and mainly in the southernmost provinces, and Purkinje (pur-KIN-gee), an indigenous language, spoken by 3% of the population.
Myocardia has no official religion, and there are strong legal and cultural barriers to the expression of religion in political life. Churches are nonetheless eligible to apply to the Myocardial Revenue Agency for a charitable organization tax exemption. The most recent census recorded the following breakdown of religion:
| Religion | Percentage |

| Liberal Protestantism | 24.7% |
