The Theocracy of Sleep Is Needed is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Sleep Is Neededian economy, worth 2.34 trillion currencies a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,103 currencies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It is illegal to make racist remarks in public, the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists, organ donation is compulsory, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sleep Is Needed's national animal is the animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
