The Colony of Sikol is a colossal, cultured nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 8.738 billion Sikolians 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 enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, with Education, Law & Order, and Environment also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sikole. The average income tax rate is 74.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Sikolian economy, worth 561 trillion acorns a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,238 acorns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Leader Pics" has made Leader's mom a celebrity, all statues and paintings of dogs are being destroyed to avoid offending cat-lovers, it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow, and photographers can be found hiding behind the curtains in Leader's bedroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sikol's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sikol is ranked 76,275^th in the world and 1,999^th in The North Pacific for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,381.07 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
