The Catgirl of SwordSappho is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Rose Weisberg-Talleyrand with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.575 billion SwordSapphoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aliose. The average income tax rate is 96.5%.

The frighteningly efficient SwordSapphoan economy, worth a remarkable 3,156 trillion golds 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 significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 272,724 golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, giggling elementary school newspaper reporters want to know why Rose Weisberg-Talleyrand is a silly poophead, and Penguin is one of the most popular forenames in SwordSappho. Crime is totally unknown. SwordSappho's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Violetism.

SwordSappho is ranked 4,603^rd in the world and 6^th in Ambition for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 582.62 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
