The Free Land of Sanguinoa is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 755 million Sanguinoans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marav. The average income tax rate is 38.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sanguinoan economy, worth 96.2 trillion guineas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 127,450 guineas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, organised sports are frowned upon as frivolous, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, and the mentally ill are given high powered automatic weapons for "catharsis therapy". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sanguinoa's national animal is the tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sanguinoa is ranked 103,356^th in the world and 1^st in Red River Valley for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,794.85 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
