The Holy Empire of Sigdomian Empire is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Cordonnus with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 25.176 billion Sigdomians 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 juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sigdom. The average income tax rate is 77.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sigdomian economy, worth a remarkable 4,274 trillion Trovs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 169,769 Trovs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Coffee-addicted citizens look forward to baristas getting their name wrong at local coffee shops, the native owl population is in permanent hibernation, artists are pillars of society, and shaken martini sales have soared in nations surrounding Sigdomian Empire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigdomian Empire's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Sigdomian Empire is ranked 3,436^th in the world and 189^th in Balder for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 9,421.61 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
