The Colony of Three Sands Farm 16 is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its triple-decker prams, soft-spoken computers, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.389 billion Three Sands Farm 16ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Three Sands Farm 16ian economy, worth 220 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Trout Farming, Automobile Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 92,178 marks, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms, the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances, a video of Leader wearing shock-blue face paint and smashing an electric guitar in front of a frenzied crowd is on endless repeat on the nightly news, and counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Three Sands Farm 16's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Three Sands Farm 16 is ranked 123,996^th in the world and 16^th in Three Sands for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 988.1 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
