The Empire of Sack Frestan is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.793 billion Sack Frestanians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 90.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Sack Frestanian economy, worth 297 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 165,763 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.
Umbrellas are back in fashion, the poor are forced into bankruptcy by their energy bills, the nationalistic national anthem inspires citizens to literally spit at foreigners, and conspiracy theorists allege Sack Frestan City's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sack Frestan's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Sack Frestan is ranked 9,836th in the world and 154th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 64.16 flags saluted per person per day.
