The People's Republic of Siptalisia is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Albert with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, cheerful population of 11.241 billion Siptalisians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Siptalisia City. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Siptalisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,088 trillion Siptoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 185,820 Siptoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, workers tend to schedule naps during all-hands meetings, and Siptalisia City spends billions upgrading public transport. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Siptalisia's national animal is the Scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism.

Siptalisia is ranked 328,747^th in the world and 2^nd in Siptalisia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -10.88 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
