The Grand Dominion of Sithisstan is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Maledictus Blaiser II with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.367 billion Sils 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sithisburgh. The average income tax rate is 85.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Silic economy, worth a remarkable 3,069 trillion Sithis Dollars 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. 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 an amazing 327,714 Sithis Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Customs turn away those considered to have an unfavourable ethnicity, there is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Silic military, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and Dàguó is simultaneously dead and alive. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sithisstan's national animal is the Sillic Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nihilistic Deism.

Sithisstan is ranked 283,221^st in the world and 4^th in Bellumburgh for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -6.75 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
