Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Disputed Territories of Sadashiv Peth is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Bajirao Peshwa with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies. Its compassionate population of 2.293 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Shaniwarwada. The average income tax rate is 99%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, torture is illegal, soylent products are an expensive commodity due to a lack of volunteers, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sadashiv Peth's national animal is the Leopard, which is also the nation's favorite main course, its national religion is Chitpavanism, and its currency is the Paisa.

Sadashiv Peth is ranked 2,068th in 10000 Islands and 100,388th in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -44 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
