The Kingdom of Sismys is a tiny, cultured nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, cynical population of 12 million Sismysians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 42.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Sismysian economy, worth 409 billion Kums a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 34,159 Kums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, industrial chicken farmers hear no evil see no evil and cluck no evil, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sismys's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sismys is ranked 110,760^th in the world and 11^th in Kaiserverse for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 783.4 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
