The Republic of Sibirsky is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President George Selby with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete absence of social welfare. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.118 billion live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, liberal, pro-business individuals devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Law & Order and Social Welfare receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sergeville. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining industries.

The country is effectively ruled by large corporations and business consultants, visitors to the famed rainforests are instead taken to vast furniture factories, citizens recently voted in favour of declaring bubblewrap an 'abomination of nature', and citizens must pay to enjoy Sibirsky's pristine beaches. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is crippling, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sibirsky's national animal is the Siberian tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Serge.

Sibirsky is ranked 63rd in Laissez Faireholm and 129,266th in the world for Most Income Equality, scoring 3 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
