The United Union of Sidika is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Halio Nabagi with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 1.829 billion Sidikans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Delblago. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Sidikan economy, worth 164 trillion Sidikan Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 89,770 Sidikan Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, spoiler warnings are now given out before political speeches, teenagers sit around on their butts all day, and the optimally efficient parking strategy for business commuters is referred to as the "traveling salesman problem". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sidika's national animal is the Sidikan greenwood turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Atheism.
Sidika is ranked 151,267th in the world and 77th in Ridgefield for Most Extensive Civil Rights, with 56.33 Martin Luther King, Jr. Units.
