The Dominion of Lower Sarbalmoklaninia is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.282 billion Lower Sarbalmoklaninians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 84.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Lower Sarbalmoklaninian economy, worth 218 trillion deniers 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. 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 an impressive 170,348 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The aphorism "there's no need to argue" has been dismissed by Lower Sarbalmoklaninians, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, most pop videos prominently feature the Lower Sarbalmoklaninian flag, and citizens rise at daybreak every day for mandatory exercise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lower Sarbalmoklaninia's national animal is the crocodile, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Lower Sarbalmoklaninia is ranked 44,381st in the world and 93rd in Talonia for Fattest Citizens, with 14.21 Obesity Rate.
