The United States of Sapien-Zustand is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, vat-grown people, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 679 million Sapien-Zustandians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Sapien-Zustandian economy, worth 105 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 155,323 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,408,118 per year while the poor average 2,007, a ratio of 701 to 1.

Colonial citizens are forced to sing the praise of the "Great Sapien-Zustandian Liberator", people are often woken up by rubbish music, bris parties are all the rage, and ceremonial zweihänders are used in holy rituals. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sapien-Zustand's national animal is the Black Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sapien-Zustand is ranked 279,833^rd in the world and 6,203^rd in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 304.84 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
