The Antipodal Sidler of Sidlearctica is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Sleve McDichael with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 3.844 billion Sidlearcticans 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Little Sidlearctica. The average income tax rate is 68.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Sidlearctican economy, worth 168 trillion huisbrouwsels a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 43,885 huisbrouwsels, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's student exchange programs are something of a one way street, no one questions why the chicken crossed the road anymore, being dead no longer has any benefits, and scientists are working on a way to automate the role of Sleve McDichael. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sidlearctica's national animal is the sidler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sidlism.

Sidlearctica is ranked 139,950^th in the world and 17^th in USSR for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,052.92 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
