The Confederacy of Sniper Country is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by John Philips with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 38.509 billion Sniper Countryians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Spirituality, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Remington City. The average income tax rate is 4.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sniper Countryian economy, worth a remarkable 6,395 trillion casings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 166,074 casings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

John Philips's Twitcher account is typically used to share prairie dog memes rather than government policy, only native-born Sniper Countryians who have never left the nation are permitted to run for office, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and restaurant owners fear visits from government officials more than the actual food critics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Sniper Country's national animal is the prairie dog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Christianity.

Sniper Country is ranked 236,292^nd in the world and 26^th in Gholgoth for Smartest Citizens, with 9.53 quips per hour.
