The Sultanate of SN Komintern is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, avant-garde cinema, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 5.115 billion SN Kominternians 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 Healthcare, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 31.2%.

The SN Kominternian economy, worth 205 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,030 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", burial ceremonies have become as routinised as tax forms, space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space, and kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named". Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SN Komintern's national animal is the Kitsune.

SN Komintern is ranked 175,928^th in the world and 14^th in Reserve Fleet for Most Developed, scoring 54.32 on the Human Development Index.
