The Croupier of The Sands Casino is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Lady Fortune with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, public floggings, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.536 billion gamblers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Social Policy also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the poker table. The average income tax rate is 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient gambling economy, worth a remarkable 1,533 trillion chips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 145,560 chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Schools are forbidden to teach anything that might paint the government in a negative light, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, only vaccinated citizens may have free healthcare, and the thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Sands Casino's national animal is the gambler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is getting rich quick.

The Sands Casino is ranked 290,113^th in the world and 3^rd in The Sands for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring -6.32 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
