The Federation of Sicilian Isles is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Big Sam with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, disturbing lack of elderly people, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.339 billion Sicilian Islesians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sicilitown. The average income tax rate is 54.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sicilian Islesian economy, worth 80.7 trillion Sicilian-Isles Crowns a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 60,242 Sicilian-Isles Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Prices for nearly everything reach all-time highs as business tax breaks are discontinued, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, bungee jumpers rarely go splat, and the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sicilian Isles's national animal is the Carp, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Sandiism.

Sicilian Isles is ranked 257,341^st in the world and 751^st in Concord for Safest, scoring 14.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
