The Urinalic Republic of Sandovalium is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leirbag Lavodnas with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 11.102 billion Sandoballs are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ballacuvalia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.3%.
The thriving Sandovalian economy, worth 950 trillion Philippine Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 85,592 Philippine Pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 302,172 per year while the poor average 17,530, a ratio of 17.2 to 1.
People with political aspirations study how to make balloon animals, dog owners proudly declare that their pups can predict when the mailman will arrive, nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more, and it can be a real jungle in a modern courtroom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sandovalium's national animal is the wetdog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sandovalism.
Sandovalium is ranked 261,694th in the world and 8th in Terra Luna for Most Stationary, with 14.59979621168 days.
