The Democratic States of Falkland and South Sandwich Islands is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Alison Blake with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.201 billion Falklanders love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, although Healthcare, Defense, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stanley. The average income tax rate is 81.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse a Falklander economy, worth 220 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 100,339 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elite teams of assassins have been sent into Brasilistan, innocent civilians in Brasilistan are evacuating the country after rumours a nuclear strike is imminent, tours to see the 'wild men of the mountains' are popular with tourists from the big cities, and translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Falkland and South Sandwich Islands's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Falkland and South Sandwich Islands is ranked 58,224th in the world and 64th in The Union of Democratic States for Highest Average Incomes, with 100,339.77 Standard Monetary Units.
