The United Socialist States of Sishia is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, smutty television, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.92 billion Sishians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 41.9%.

The strong Sishian economy, worth 98.6 trillion sishian dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Average income is 51,333 sishian dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

The nation gives peace a chance - usually one in a million, beggars lack pockets for spare change, war is made in the name of love, and there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sishia's national animal is the rattlesnake, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sishia is ranked 249,601^st in the world and 58^th in Greater Dienstad for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -4.69 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
