The Dominion of Scunia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Murdoch Fugler with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, free-roaming dinosaurs, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.32 billion Scunians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tego. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 82.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Scunian economy, worth a remarkable 2,353 trillion Tokens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 207,863 Tokens, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Teen boys and girls find stick-figure-aided lectures on their comradestruation emphasises socialist unity more than biology, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, one-word headlines are the norm in Scunian newspapers, and torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Scunia's national animal is the Crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Christianity.

Scunia is ranked 80,505th in the world and 1,132nd in The North Pacific for Most Stationary, with 602.41845472972 days.
