The Democratic Republic of La Sangre subio is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical population of 525 million La Sangre subioans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esperanza. The average income tax rate is 69.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong La Sangre subioan economy, worth 40.5 trillion Dabloons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 77,196 Dabloons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, the nation is currently revamping its entire education system, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and unpopular cops are fired at a moment's notice by the citizens they police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. La Sangre subio's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

La Sangre subio is ranked 261,565^th in the world and 255^th in Conch Kingdom for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.25 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
