The Democratic Republic of Snestar is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Elisa Rizzi with a fair hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, digital currency, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.348 billion Snestaryans are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dandelicha. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Snestaryan economy, worth 661 trillion Euros a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 152,096 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, rebuilding efforts for a recently destroyed cathedral aren't expected to be completed for another century, Elisa Rizzi can finally stop kneading the dough and start rolling in it instead, and former polygamists always seem to have a huge number of visiting cousins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Snestar's national animal is the Starfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Snestar is ranked 258,730^th in the world and 9,079^th in Lazarus for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.33 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
