The Holy Empire of Sigdomian Empire is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Cordonnus with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 30.282 billion Sigdomians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sigdom. The average income tax rate is 29.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sigdomian economy, worth a remarkable 4,742 trillion Trovs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 156,626 Trovs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There is a disproportionate number of poor people in prison, every computer glitch triggers an immediate counter-espionage response, citizens have never heard foreign radio, and a glyph of Emperor Cordonnus is worth a thousand letters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigdomian Empire's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Christianity.

Sigdomian Empire is ranked 11,221^st in the world and 511^th in Balder for Highest Poor Incomes, with 118,876.51 Standard Monetary Units.
