The Warning of Signs is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Sam Scarecrow with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, absence of drug laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 29.209 billion Signians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Signal. The average income tax rate is 46.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Signsian economy, worth 935 trillion Signs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,025 Signs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, hunters have been known to lose limbs while attempting to 'play tag' with their prey, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime is totally unknown. Signs's national animal is the seal, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is The Angst.

Signs is ranked 105,634^th in the world and 1^st in Panem for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 811.96 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
