The Sadistic Grand Dictatorship of Sardon is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Supreme Grand Leader Arez Immortal with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 2.456 billion Sardonians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Grand Golden Capital. The average income tax rate is 69.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Sardonian economy, worth 520 trillion Starling golds a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 211,971 Starling golds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps, owning a fishing rod can cause you to be subject to military questioning, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Sardonians like vultures, and a burger chain recently changed its name to Mack Donaldz for legal reasons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sardon's national animal is the Courrp, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sardinian.

Sardon is ranked 20,878^th in the world and 831^st in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 91 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
