The Empire of Sardessia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Emporer Keiyentai IX with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, ubiquitous missile silos, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 2.686 billion Sardessians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaelynos. The average income tax rate is 92.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sardessian economy, worth 508 trillion sardessans a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 189,405 sardessans, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crackheads chase drug-loaded drones in hopes of a lucky drop, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, school football matches are usually five-a-side, and the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sardessia's national animal is the cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sardessia is ranked 72,397^th in the world and 74^th in Horizon for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 15,055.01 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
