The National People's Republic of S state is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Sebastian Petrovich Schmitd with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 4.208 billion S stateans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of new pressburg. The average income tax rate is 86.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong S statean economy, worth 315 trillion Marks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 74,978 Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is more interested in identifying problems than fixing them, Eau de Trashcan has become a wildly popular perfume, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and the S statean Arts Council pays teenagers to sit through opera performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. S state's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Secularism.

S state is ranked 165,730^th in the world and 631^st in Europeia for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,828.87 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
