The Republic of Sapsaamplot is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 814 million Sapsaamplotians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sapsaamplotian economy, worth 71.0 trillion arils a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,250 arils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Sapsaamplot, the new Liquor Legitimacy Office is besieged with job applications from people who have experience in "statistical sampling methods", nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, and the military's newest toy broadcasts Sapsaamplot's anthem on hostile frequencies to drive enemies insane. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sapsaamplot's national animal is the rainbow jay, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sapsaamplot is ranked 84,959^th in the world and 7^th in CARON for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 369.22 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
