The Realm of Federal republic Sarmeria is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Stephan Katovski with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cheerful population of 16.703 billion Sarmerians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stefanov. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Sarmerian economy, worth a remarkable 3,947 trillion Sarmerian pounds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 236,314 Sarmerian pounds, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 954,290 per year while the poor average 39,059, a ratio of 24.4 to 1.

Social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, every new toxic waste dump comes with a seal of approval from the government's science advisor, AI citizens are criticized for being robotic, and the government seizes private property for the 'good of the people'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Federal republic Sarmeria's national animal is the Black Adder, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pastafarianism.

Federal republic Sarmeria is ranked 292,192^nd in the world and 4,171^st in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -944.75 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
