The United Socialist States of Sankarism is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape and frequent executions. The hard-working population of 4.595 billion Sankarismians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 30.5%.

The Sankarismian economy, worth 178 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 38,826 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Soldiers' positions are given away by the glint of their bayonets, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, patriots insist that size does matter, and students who refuse to pray are expelled from school. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sankarism's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sankarism is ranked 270,169^th in the world and 10^th in Stanley for Smartest Citizens, with 19.02 quips per hour.
