The Principality of Sandtankland is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Cowa Toriyama with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 4.53 billion Sanders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Satan City. The average income tax rate is 11.5%.

The thriving Sandtanked economy, worth 356 trillion capsules a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 78,708 capsules, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

One-stop superstores divide and conquer family businesses, one complaint of Sandtankland's new periodic table is it's easy to confuse fearlessleaderium with gloriousleaderium, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, and friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sandtankland's national animal is the demon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sandtankland is ranked 252,469^th in the world and 36^th in Lewisham Library for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring zero on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
