The Democratic Imperium of Sanguine Sons is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sanguinius with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.407 billion Sons of Sanguinius 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 Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Arx Angelicum. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sanguinary economy, worth a remarkable 1,449 trillion Throne Gelts a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 154,103 Throne Gelts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sanguine Sons's national animal is the Vapeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imperial Truth.

Sanguine Sons is ranked 6,093^rd in the world and 12^th in Nordic Lands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 111.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
