The Vorellian Dynasty of The Sitano is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ardan Vorelle with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory gun ownership, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 4.871 billion Sitanoans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government prioritizes Defense, with Industry and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Environment and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vellum. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Sitanoan economy, worth 860 trillion Vorellian Chods a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 176,623 Vorellian Chods, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,621,596 per year while the poor average 2,011, a ratio of 806 to 1.

The nation leads Forum Squared in per capita stalking, the well-off can quite literally buy extra votes, politicians live in luxury, and orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Sitano's national animal is the Vorellian Longhorn Goat, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Vorellanism.

The Sitano is ranked 295,141^st in the world and 5^th in Forum Squared for Most Developed, scoring 46.37 on the Human Development Index.
