The Lucky Green Republic of The Sansvich is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 573 million Sansvichians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snowdin. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sansvichian economy, worth 39.0 trillion Gold Bars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 68,060 Gold Bars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, interest in globalism never flags, military pistols are more secure than the national treasury, and the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sansvich's national animal is the Sans, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Sansvich is ranked 127,527^th in the world and 6,438^th in The North Pacific for Highest Crime Rates, with 2.47 Crimes Per Hour.
