The People's Republic of Sinma is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Asuna with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory vegetarianism, daily referendums, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.074 billion Sinmen love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Sinman economy, worth 91.6 trillion Shangs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Retail. Average income is 44,176 Shangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, planespotters are emigrating in droves, and television executives are interested in turning Asuna's zany home life into a sitcom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sinma's national animal is the Min, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheist.

Sinma is ranked 278,721^st in the world and 53^rd in Sparkalia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,291.51 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
