The Federal Republic of Sangrinaria is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 737 million Sangrinarians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Alicia. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sangrinarian economy, worth 87.3 trillion arĝentoes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 118,426 arĝentoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Condos feature wall-mounted cages containing endangered animals, foreign nations kill migratory animals at random in the hope that Sangrinaria will pay them to stop, roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, and former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades. Crime is totally unknown. Sangrinaria's national animal is the white goose, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sangrinaria is ranked 280,977^th in the world and 197^th in Thaecia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
