The Unlawful Carnal Knowledge of Sinclair Parish is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Proctor Roy Scarlett with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and compulsory gun ownership. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 5.459 billion Sinclair Parishians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Aftershock City. The average income tax rate is 55.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sinclair Parishian economy, worth 494 trillion Blue Öysters a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Pizza Delivery, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 90,558 Blue Öysters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Proctor Roy Scarlett in ermine and velvet garb. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sinclair Parish's national animal is the Urban Guerilla, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Great Serpent.

Sinclair Parish is ranked 226,808^th in the world and 1^st in Freight Train Nation for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.03 percentage of bribes refused.
