The Corporate Singularity of Glorious Scythia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Wu Minghan with an iron fist, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.352 billion North Tianese are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Administration are also considered important, while Environment and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Beijing. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.3%.

The frighteningly efficient North Tianese economy, worth 940 trillion Yuan a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 280,637 Yuan, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,058,623 per year while the poor average 11,728, a ratio of 175 to 1.

Children spend all morning taking out a comma and all afternoon putting it back in again, jaywalking is punishable by public flogging, soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, and couch potatoes are considered to be model citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Glorious Scythia's national animal is the Chinese Dragon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Tiano-deism.

Glorious Scythia is ranked 159,344th in the world and 25th in New World Union for Most Stationary, with 128.7630425916 days.
