The Defensive Pacifist Nation of Sneaky Bastards is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Julian Kimsey with a fair hand, and renowned for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 22.1 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of the Environment, Social Welfare, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirinona City. The average income tax rate is 89%. 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.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, and Sneaky Bastards's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sneaky Bastards's national animal is the hot springs turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is no major religion, and its currency is the yen.

Sneaky Bastards is ranked 6th in Space Sector RPRA and 4,102nd in the world for Healthiest Citizens, with 13 Standard Bananas Ingested per capita per day.
