The Dominion of Sandera is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 3.261 billion Sanderians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Catalonia. The average income tax rate is 37.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Sanderan economy, worth 365 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 112,014 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Government officials go door-to-door educating about the dangers of pseudoscience, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, directors of low-budget sci-fi films are flocking to use Catalonia as a backdrop, and lawyers spend as much time preparing their make-up as they do their briefs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sandera's national animal is the Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Sandera is ranked 117,085th in the world and 1,887th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 317.22690114132 days.
