The Sultanate of Sharisatar is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Sultana Miriam V Cola with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory vegetarianism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 20.384 billion Sharisatarians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 36.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sharisatarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,957 trillion Honds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Gambling, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 96,030 Honds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Suburban backyards are seized by the government and turned into national parks, all tribal children are set for life with guaranteed government jobs, colonies are told they'll get their sovereignty back when they finish supper, and ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sharisatar's national animal is the beetle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Islam.

Sharisatar is ranked 103,190^th in the world and 2^nd in International Socialist Union of Equitas for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,916.92 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
