The Republic of Sigma Pi is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Christopher Brown with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 1.971 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 devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Defence receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SPAD City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Tourism industry.

Radio shows frequently feature people denouncing religion, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else, and Sigma Pi's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigma Pi's national animal is the Owl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Franc.
