The Sovereign Republic of South Americanastan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Micheal Kelly with a fair hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, daily referendums, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 7.224 billion South Americanastanians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Forrestbury. The average income tax rate is 22.9%.

The frighteningly efficient South Americanastanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,178 trillion Pennyweights a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 163,173 Pennyweights, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

Women wear burqas to avoid unwanted male attention, the Laws of War require "enthusiastic consent" (South Americanastan has found 1 easter egg), libraries have replaced overdue book fines with mandatory mental health assessments, and in coastal waters there are fifteen salvage divers per dead man's chest (yo ho ho). Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. South Americanastan's national animal is the Savannah Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

South Americanastan is ranked 90,112^th in the world and 12^th in Arrosia for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,710.38 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
