The Republic of Sandhyaland is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 518 million Sandhyalandians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.1%.

The powerhouse Sandhyalandian economy, worth 45.8 trillion Gingeries a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 88,456 Gingeries, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 396,278 per year while the poor average 12,224, a ratio of 32.4 to 1.

Sandhyalandian actors literally work from cradle to grave, the nation leads The waters in per capita stalking, airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, and shady doctors seem to have impeccable records. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sandhyaland's national animal is the Greenie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sandhyaland is ranked 5,380^th in the world and 2^nd in The waters for Fattest Citizens, with 24.92 Obesity Rate.
