The Democratic Republic of Sigmabiber is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.205 billion Sigmabiberians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 81.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sigmabiberian economy, worth 132 trillion Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 109,246 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, the government regularly publishes lengthy reports on its own excessive recordkeeping, bizarre-looking creatures called 'Commrade birddogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and resident physicians are said to have a silver scalpel in their hands. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigmabiber's national animal is the Commrade bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sigmabiber is ranked 8,324^th in the world and 39^th in Starlight for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.53 percentage of bribes refused.
