The Confederate Socialist States of Greater Sasmidia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Sasmit with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.57 billion Sasmidians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Administration, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Epsilon City. The average income tax rate is 78.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Greater Sasmidian economy, worth 698 trillion sasmidian coins 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. 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 an amazing 271,772 sasmidian coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, the Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, and women are reassured that they're being oppressed for their own good. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Greater Sasmidia's national animal is the golden eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Chessism.

Greater Sasmidia is ranked 16,733^rd in the world and 1^st in Western Connection for Highest Food Quality, scoring 128.33 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
