The Democratic Republic of Snestar is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Caitlin Wright with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 5.252 billion Snestaryans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dandelicha. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Snestaryan economy, worth 808 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 153,923 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snestaryan husbands are dead good at fathering kids, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, Caitlin Wright spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snestar's national animal is the Starfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
