The Mystical Land of Sansu is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Goober Maxwell The IV with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 771 million Sansuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Bassland. The average income tax rate is 54.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sansuan economy, worth 99.6 trillion wawas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 129,215 wawas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Going on a diet invalidates your passport, there's no such thing as bad publicity, soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, and politicians have to be granted day-release from prison to speak on bills. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sansu's national animal is the cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sansu is ranked 233,646^th in the world and 4,301^st in The North Pacific for Nudest, with 85 cheeks per square mile.
