“Fight fierce or die in shame”

The Democratic Order of Sanzar is a colossal, economically powerful nation, ruled by Lorenzo Bonocorci with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 5.842 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal 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 Sand City. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Gambling industries.

Police officers are seen patrolling the streets armed with satellite-guided truncheons, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, and the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive. Sanzar's national animal is the phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the denar.

Sanzar is ranked 2488th in the region and 54,519th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
