The Most Serene Republic of Sarkas is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning porpoise population. The hard-working population of 1.71 billion Sarkasians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 16.9%.

The Sarkasian economy, worth 78.4 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 45,826 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sarkas's national animal is the porpoise, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.

Sarkas is ranked 206,679^th in the world and 264^th in Concord for Largest Black Market, with 439 billion Standard Monetary Units.
