The Greater Republic of Sargossa is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by General Gregorio Emparán with an iron fist, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.696 billion Sargossans are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soluca. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sargossan economy, worth an astonishing 11,372 trillion dinaras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 301,684 dinaras, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,157,708 per year while the poor average 54,199, a ratio of 21.4 to 1.

Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, comedians who make offensive jokes have their ticket proceeds seized, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Sargossa's national animal is the Great Manta, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sargossa is ranked 329,549^th in the world and 63^rd in Rushmore for Nicest Citizens, with 0.17 average smiles per day.
