The Kingdom of Sigmamathus is a huge, cultured nation, ruled by Little Timmy Cooper Walther The 42nd with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working population of 976 million Sigmamathusians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alphansumus. The average income tax rate is 33.1%.

The thriving Sigmamathusian economy, worth 82.5 trillion Thusbucks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 84,493 Thusbucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic cables about Little Timmy Cooper Walther The 42nd have suddenly been very flattering, the nation's first space rocket -- sponsored by Eckie-Ecola and shaped like an enormous soda bottle -- is being developed, elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes, and the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigmamathus's national animal is the Sigmamathus Soldier Fly, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sigmamathus is ranked 82,204^th in the world and 147^th in Starlight for Highest Average Incomes, with 84,493.25 Standard Monetary Units.
