The Democratic States of The Sinner is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 4.695 billion Sinnerians 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, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Sinnerian economy, worth 156 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 33,326 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

It takes months to get the proper permits for a child's first tricycle, the government invades its allies more than its enemies, orthopaedics patients often have a bounce in their step, and divorce is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sinner's national animal is the Kitsune, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Sinner is ranked 128,728^th in the world and 1^st in Cthonia for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,847.18 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
