The Democratic Commonwealth of Sandwich Territories is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sir Brian Hackett with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 1.344 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Defence, although Education and Commerce are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Old Crustville. The average income tax rate is 78%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Book Publishing and Tourism.

All citizens are solely referenced by their allocated identity number, inter-species marriages are ignored by the government, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, and gambling is outlawed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sandwich Territories's national animal is the Sandwichian Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Eastern Orthodox, and its currency is the Dough.

Sandwich Territories is ranked 19th in Kennan and 62,587th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 115 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
