The Loving Couple of SapphicCouple- is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Crow Phone with an iron fist, and renowned for its frequent executions, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.872 billion SapphicCouple-ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Giant Poison Berries. The average income tax rate is 75.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient SapphicCouple-ian economy, worth 923 trillion snails a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Retail, Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 104,132 snails, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are more concerned about voting for Big Brother contestants than politicians, idyllic countryside scenes see border collies herding sixty-ton dinosaurs, the bureaucracy's scale makes the trees wail, and vile black smog from coal power plants has enveloped several major urban centres. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SapphicCouple-'s national animal is the owl and its national religion is Cards.

SapphicCouple- is ranked 14,052^nd in the world and 1^st in Divine Mandate of Sanctum for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 4,271.19 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
