The Republic of A snek is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 10.578 billion snekians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 25.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient snekian economy, worth 303 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,679 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Harry Potter books are banned, organ donation is compulsory, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails'. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A snek's national animal is the snek.

A snek is ranked 262,530^th in the world and 1^st in No step on snek for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 720.64 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
