The Grand Dominion of Sithisstan is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Imperator Maledictus Blaiser II with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.338 billion Sils are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sithisburgh. The average income tax rate is 84.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Silic economy, worth a remarkable 3,050 trillion Sithis Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 326,704 Sithis Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Disgruntled jocks are forced to play tetris for entertainment, worried-looking neonatal nurses are being deployed in place of SWAT teams during dangerous drug busts, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, and twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sithisstan's national animal is the Sillic Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nihilistic Deism.

Sithisstan is ranked 330,771^st in the world and 5^th in Bellumburgh for Nicest Citizens, with 0.12 average smiles per day.
