The People's Republic of S state is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.162 billion S stateans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of new pressburg. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped S statean economy, worth 44.2 trillion Marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Tourism. Average income is 38,046 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Commuters are denied boarding for attempting to bring packed lunches onto trains, counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. S state's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

S state is ranked 165,259^th in the world and 711^th in Europeia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 578.88 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
