The United Republic of Upper Sanforsent is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lucius Ghenillio with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.359 billion Sanforsentians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port of Cestallo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 69.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Sanforsentian economy, worth a remarkable 1,046 trillion Lazus a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 125,197 Lazus, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 355,405 per year while the poor average 35,226, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Deceased politicians spam the public with thousands of AI-generated voicemails, the country is littered with broken homes, Sanforsentian diplomacy is by the book, and the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Upper Sanforsent's national animal is the Panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Upper Sanforsent is ranked 283,553^rd in the world and 17^th in Martierra for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -12.65 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
