The Monarch Republic of Sbulandia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by King Sk with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, infamous sell-swords, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.273 billion Sbulandians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Goldenwall. The average income tax rate is 57.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sbulandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,053 trillion Septims a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 282,342 Septims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Formerly fertile fields are being leached dry of nutrients by intensive farming, the government's fruit business reeks of rotting produce and corruption, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sbulandia's national animal is the Lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Skism.

Sbulandia is ranked 9,449^th in the world and 456^th in Balder for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 13,378 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
