“Leave nothing but the verb.”

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The United States of Sapien-Zustand is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, unlimited-speed roads, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 673 million Sapien-Zustandians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Berlin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Sapien-Zustandian economy, worth 104 trillion Dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is an impressive 154,919 Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,404,452 per year while the poor average 2,002, a ratio of 701 to 1.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, it's best not to ask what goes into Berlin Fried Chicken's secret blend of herbs and spices, it's always rabbit season, and minstrels carrying coconut shells provide sound effects wherever their nobles wander. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sapien-Zustand's national animal is the Black Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sapien-Zustand is ranked 155,481^st in the world and 3,861^st in The North Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,457.1 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
