The Free Land of Sigmacorp is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, vat-grown people, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 1.597 billion customers are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.
The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HQ. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.
The frighteningly efficient corporate economy, worth 282 trillion bitcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 176,678 bitcoins, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,606,674 per year while the poor average 2,217, a ratio of 724 to 1.
Corporations have to consult a fifty-page "sanctions spreadsheet" to determine which countries they are allowed to do business with, foreign football clubs wave the corporate flag before every game, every citizen must submit to DNA testing to be eliminated from police inquiries, and athletes are renowned for being the best at maths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigmacorp's national animal is the pig, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Sigmacorp is ranked 22,109th in the world and 1,488th in Balder for Most Patriotic, with 45.11 flags saluted per person per day.
