The Grand Duchy of Sab Demenr is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Duke Jozef XIV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 8.426 billion Sab Demenrians are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 92.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sab Demenrian economy, worth a remarkable 1,219 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 144,716 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, Grand Duke Jozef XIV reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes, earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss, and discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sab Demenr's national animal is the rat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sab Demenr is ranked 32,837^th in the world and 30^th in Anteria for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,365.66 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
