The Armed Republic of Sibleyton is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Raiden with an even hand, and remarkable for its hatred of cheese. Its hard-nosed population of 2.891 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 government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Defence, although Commerce and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bazinga. The average income tax rate is 70%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Tourism and Book Publishing.

Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, the government has taken a 'sort it out yourselves' approach to fighting malaria, airport security is provided by private companies, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sibleyton's national animal is the Crawfish, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Christian, and its currency is the Coin.

Sibleyton is ranked 1st in Cajun country and 64,667th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring 13 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
