The Honorable Elites of The Sangheili Separatist is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Kaidon- Vhel' Surnam with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, pith helmet sales, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, democratic, humorless, devout population of 25.035 billion Sangheili are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Defense, Environment, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Retribution. The average income tax rate is 90.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sangheili economy, worth a remarkable 2,060 trillion Snia coins a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,308 Snia coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, bargain hunters descend on disaster zones for a quick spot of grocery shopping, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sangheili Separatist's national animal is the Heloskrill, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Schism.

The Sangheili Separatist is ranked 15,891^st in the world and 3^rd in The Great Chili for Highest Food Quality, scoring 131.47 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
