The Republic of Sanatana is a mid-sized, genial nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles and compulsory military service. The compassionate, hard-working, cynical population of 56 million Sanatanans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 11.0%.

The strong Sanatanan economy, worth 2.88 trillion Swarnas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 51,448 Swarnas, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have been outlawed, when their backs are against the walls Sanatanans look out for gay men, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and cars are banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Sanatana's national animal is the Aaeraawat , which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sanatana is ranked 26,637^th in the world and 5^th in USSR for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4,720.7 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
