The Theocracy of Saibalar is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed population of 147 million Saibalarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Saibalarian economy, worth 3.72 trillion kivars 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 slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. 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 25,326 kivars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, workers have seized control of the economy, and the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saibalar's national animal is the owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saibalar is ranked 105,652^nd in the world and 147^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,261.95 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
