The County of Sangamon is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Abraham Lincoln with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 3.577 billion Sangamonians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Springfield. The average income tax rate is 9.6%.

The thriving Sangamonian economy, worth 298 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 83,314 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

A historic rise in the minimum wage has crushed the economy with inflation, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, theft is considered to be okay if the crime happened a long time ago, and Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Springfield to enjoy their national art. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Sangamon's national animal is the eagle.

Sangamon is ranked 89,977^th in the world and 3^rd in County for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 106.31 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
