The Monarch Republic of Sbulandia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Sk with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, sprawling nuclear power plants, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.3 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 57.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sbulandian economy, worth a remarkable 2,070 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 283,603 Septims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, and the government has the power to seize property at will. 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 271,016^th in the world and 10,016^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 9.63 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
