The Democratic Republic of Sabamba is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, devout population of 400 million Sabambans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Centrdotsi. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Sabamban economy, worth 15.3 trillion sabamba kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 38,293 sabamba kronor, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Visiting dignitaries often take advantage of strict reparation policies by stubbing their toes, no one is quite sure what many government officials look like, the number of judges has tripled in recent months, and Leader has been nicknamed 'Robomop'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sabamba's national animal is the cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sabamba is ranked 119,553^rd in the world and 111^th in Declansburg for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,536.05 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
