The Republic of Sapsaamplot is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, keen interest in outer space, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.17 billion Sapsaamplotians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 69.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sapsaamplotian economy, worth 113 trillion arils a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,152 arils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

No-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, the vow 'til death do us part' is often taken as an invitation to murder, Sapsaamplot is sometimes referred to as the global janitor, and a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sapsaamplot's national animal is the rainbow jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sapsaamplot is ranked 307,932^nd in the world and 1,390^th in ArilCards Inc for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -12.07 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
