The United States of Schenectadia is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.096 billion Schenectadians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Schenectady. The average income tax rate is 35.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Schenectadian economy, worth 505 trillion Schenectadias a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 99,267 Schenectadias, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, the 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, prison visits increase substantially during election years, and Jennifer Government is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Schenectadia's national animal is the Eastern Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Schenectadia is ranked 35,480^th in the world and 3^rd in Ravnik for Safest, scoring 107.15 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
