The Recently Resurfaced Republic of The Sansvich is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Sans with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, complete lack of prisons, and national health service. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.853 billion Sansvichians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Snowdin. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sansvichian economy, worth 298 trillion Bones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 104,600 Bones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Pictures of government employees with expensive Pearbooks 'working' on exotic beaches dominate local tabloids, photos of picturesque coastal buildings are set against a backdrop of smokestacks and ship hulls, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and politicians tend to jump ship to whichever party is currently leading in the polls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sansvich's national animal is the Human Child, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Sansvich is ranked 206,014^th in the world and 8,627^th in The North Pacific for Most Extreme, scoring 7.91 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
