The Kingdom of Saunders-Sandwich is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 284 million Saunders-Sandwich Islanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 21.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Saunders-Sandwich economy, worth 11.6 trillion sterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,868 sterlings, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-income earners pay a 100% tax rate, citizens are prohibited from raising their voice above thirty decibels in commercial districts, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, and seven-year-olds debate for weeks on the merits of the Oxford comma. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Saunders-Sandwich's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Saunders-Sandwich is ranked 204,344^th in the world and 627^th in the Outback for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 1,052.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
