The Republic of Sapsaamplot is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 814 million Sapsaamplotians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sapsaamplotian economy, worth 71.6 trillion arils a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 88,014 arils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The military's newest toy broadcasts Sapsaamplot's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane, coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Sapsaamplotian weed picker are way up, and search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sapsaamplot's national animal is the rainbow jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sapsaamplot is ranked 85,669th in the world and 7th in CARON for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 363.99 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
