The Kingdom of Sancesintanistaland is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed population of 3.114 billion Sancesintanistalandians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 43.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sancesintanistalandian economy, worth 264 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,018 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, NationStates is now a popular brand of laxatives despite Max Barry's protests, and citizens are bankrupted by injuries to cousins they've never met. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sancesintanistaland's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sancesintanistaland is ranked 38,505^th in the world and 423^rd in Suspicious for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 4,811.81 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
