The Uncommonwealth of The Snazzylands is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lord-Director Skylar ven Anri with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 19.917 billion Snazzylanders are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Icarus Landing. The average income tax rate is 97.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Snazzish economy, worth a remarkable 6,149 trillion dolla dolla bills 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. 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 308,770 dolla dolla bills, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flamethrower-toting soldiers are also equipped with fire blankets and extinguishers, Snazzish diplomacy is by the book, cars speed down national highways while drivers sleep at the wheel, and burnt-out forty-foot-tall wicker men dot the countryside. Crime is totally unknown. The Snazzylands's national animal is the jackalope, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Snazzylands is ranked 3,880th in the world and 5th in Haiku for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 16,678.26 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
