The Merry Christmas State of Sardinia-Sicily is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alessandra Mussolini with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 1.191 billion Italians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cagliari. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sardinia-Sicilyian economy, worth 147 trillion Polos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 123,578 Polos, with the richest citizens earning 9.0 times as much as the poorest.

Thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", there is something rotten in the state of Sardinia-Sicily, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sardinia-Sicily's national animal is the Caesar Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Roman Catholic Church.

Sardinia-Sicily is ranked 152,989^th in the world and 144^th in Covenant Shores for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 1,808.61 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
