The Kingdom of SadBear is a mammoth, genial nation, ruled by Papa Bear with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, infamous sell-swords, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 5.342 billion SadBearians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bad Bear. The average income tax rate is 45.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong SadBearian economy, worth 294 trillion Footlongs 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Soda Sales, Pizza Delivery, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 55,199 Footlongs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, there's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and black tea is only available on the black market. Crime is totally unknown. SadBear's national animal is the Sad Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SadBear is ranked 129,984^th in the world and 6^th in Quiet Cottage on the Edge of the Cosmos for Safest, scoring 71.06 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
