The Disputed Territories of Death by Sister is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 4.667 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Commerce, and Defence. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 37%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Automobile Manufacturing.

Scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, gambling is outlawed, those found guilty of illicit affairs are jailed, and the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts. Crime is moderate. Death by Sister's national animal is the little sister, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the sleepover.

Death by Sister is ranked 1st in Blackwater Tavern and 44,543rd in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 2 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
