Scientocracy is an ideology which advocates for government and public policy based on scientific evidence and/or of the opinions of scientists and experts. It is distinct from 
Technocracy, which is the rule of scientists and experts.
Beliefs
Scientocracy is the belief in a government of the people, but based on science. This does not entail that scientists will run the country directly, but rather that political leaders will be informed by scientists. Scientocrats believe this will end the constant arguing over decisions that politicians so often have and will speed up progress and decision-making since all politicians would then be informed with what, based off scientific, analytical knowledge, would be the best steps to take.
History
Florence Caddy wrote a book titled Through the fields with Linnaeus: a chapter in Swedish history. Published two volumes in 1887. In these two sentences she uses "society of the scientocracy" and "scientocrats" to refer to groups of eminent scientists of that time.
In 1933, Hugo Gernsback defined Scientocracy as "the direction of the country and its resources by Scientists and not by Technicians" However Scientocracy faded to obscurity in modern days, due to the rising popularity of Technocracy
Personality
He is very inelegant and nerdy, sometimes he acts mean, but it's mostly to other Polcompballs that don't understand science. He is the stereotypical scientist or geeky kid at school. He likes to put research into things.

Relationships
Friends (THE SCIENCE TEAM)
Technocracy - My Brother, he is a good administrator, but he stole all of my fame!
Transhumanism - He will help us to evolve and improve the human race.
Environmentalism - She will help us to reduce carbon emissions and protect the environment.
Cyberocracy - Also supports the rule of information, how neat!
Meritocracy - He has talent, and puts effort into political research.
Noocracy - My beloved father, through me that smart people should rule this world.
Radical Centrism - I agree that some parts of ideologies are good and all, but did you do your research?
Cosmicism - You got big dreams bro. Take these Anti-Depressions and lets roll!
Laicism - Based. Religion shouldn't influence our government.
Primal Primitivism - An endangered species, must be protected at all costs.
Frenemies
Marxism - This whole "scientific socialism" thing I like. Some of your followers are a bit anti-science though.
Agrarianism - Agriculturalism IS a science after all, but he is too backwards.
Neoluddism - The industrial revolution was flawed and all, but we can fix what we did wrong.
Industrialism - He is way too backwards, but helped me to become possible.
Aristocracy - My grandfather, who laid the foundation for me, but he is not qualified to rule.
Posadism - While I understand enthusiasm for science, the love for nukes is not helping.
Democracy - I get being for the people, but what's popular isn't necessarily the right thing to do. Why not put research into it?
Liquid Democracy - So what's next? Gas Democracy? Plasma Democracy? Bose-Einstein Condensate Democracy?
