The Democratic Republic of Sandunasia is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 167 million Sandunasians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 11.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sandunasian economy, worth 10.5 trillion Sandus a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Gambling. Average income is 62,984 Sandus, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, nose plugs are the latest Sandunasian fashion accessory, and government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sandunasia's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sandunasia is ranked 61,224^th in the world and 389^th in Europeia for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 51.48 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
