The Confederacy of North Sandalusia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Diktator Marcel Durmont with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.829 billion North Sandalusians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Caen. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.

The all-consuming North Sandalusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,206 trillion Nothern Francs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 101,962 Nothern Francs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 421,068 per year while the poor average 16,232, a ratio of 25.9 to 1.

Anti-riot police are dispatched whenever two elderly ladies gather to complain that prices have increased, the fattest folk in North Sandalusia look to be the happiest ones, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, and fur coats have become the latest fashion trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. North Sandalusia's national animal is the Vulture, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

North Sandalusia is ranked 159,971^st in the world and 33^rd in Deutschland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
