The Commonwealth of Sard Namerana is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 354 million Sard Nameranans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 33.7%.

The Sard Nameranan economy, worth 18.7 trillion Lire a year, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 52,886 Lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

The installation of street lights across remote goat tracks has left citizens bemused, religious classes are compulsory for all school students, search and rescue forces now accept cheques and all major credit cards, and protestors are soaking piles of Lire in blood to make a point about government incomes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sard Namerana's national animal is the Markhor.

Sard Namerana is ranked 93,590^th in the world and 137^th in The Black Hawks for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,184.99 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
