The Dominion of Sanoi is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Naois with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and national health service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 3.017 billion Sanoians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Welfare and Law & Order not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ionas. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 29.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sanoian economy, worth 532 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 176,420 dollars, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,074,910 per year while the poor average 12,814, a ratio of 83.9 to 1.

Drivers are told they're not staring at mobile phone screens enough, everybody's got wood thanks to Naois, the economy is green and the air is black, and politicians take citizens for idiots. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sanoi's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sanoi is ranked 157,285^th in the world and 63^rd in Panama Papers for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 29.32 Effective Tax Rate.
