The Federation of Sanin is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cheerful population of 6.215 billion Saninians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Padun. The average income tax rate is 94.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Saninian economy, worth a remarkable 1,827 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 294,017 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, the government runs a surplus by selling its citizens, and annual Formula One races bring the capital to a screeching halt. Crime is totally unknown. Sanin's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

Sanin is ranked 3,725th in the world and 1st in Helio for Most Cultured, scoring 195 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
