The Demoncratic States of Sestabolgia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Staan with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.718 billion Sestabolgians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandaemonium City. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sestabolgian economy, worth a remarkable 1,828 trillion mamons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 236,966 mamons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, and people with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals. Crime is totally unknown. Sestabolgia's national animal is the goat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is agnosticism.

Sestabolgia is ranked 9,625^th in the world and 221^st in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 121.81 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
