The Kingdom of Sigmius is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Kanjo with a fair hand, and notable for its soft-spoken computers, daily referendums, and labour-free parental leave. The compassionate, democratic population of 21.563 billion Sigmites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vespilon. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sigmian economy, worth a remarkable 2,229 trillion Phis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 103,371 Phis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the Sigmius Blood Tithe, sweat stains are proof of political acumen, the nation's democracy attracts huddled masses yearning to breathe free, and chain-gangs are often seen toting barges and lifting bales. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigmius's national animal is the Chameleon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sigmius is ranked 187,965^th in the world and 9^th in Equinox for Largest Black Market, with 595 billion Standard Monetary Units.
