The Lesbian Kingdom of Sapphland is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sappho Blade with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 10.27 billion Sapphlandians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sappholot. The average income tax rate is 96.2%.

The powerhouse Sapphic economy, worth a remarkable 1,183 trillion silver dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 115,284 silver dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Trails to natural wonders are littered with trash from reality film crews, the new national campaign exhorts men to "Show Some Class - Don't Sit On Your Ass", foreign leaders are advising that Sappho Blade's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, and a blood-red mark on the doorframe means a building must be passed over for destruction. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sapphland's national animal is the bluejay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Swordism.

Sapphland is ranked 14,879^th in the world and 35^th in Ambition for Lowest Crime Rates, with 94.31 law-abiding acts per hour.
