The Better than you of Sinestris is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical population of 7.543 billion Sinestrisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sinestrisian economy, worth 187 trillion coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, Cheese Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 24,860 coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation is compulsory, the government baselessly accuses foreign dignitaries of being assassins, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and getting an autograph has become harder than ever. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sinestris's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sinestris is ranked 266,171^st in the world and 8^th in Europea for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.75 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
