The Democratic States of Saint Sachin and Cosemai is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 451 million Saint Sachin and Cosemaians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 64.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Saint Sachin and Cosemaian economy, worth 12.2 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 27,029 francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Grannies with arthritic hands work miserably on factory production lines, stealing from a clothesline is a serious offence, citizens brought into court for parking violations are never heard from again, and people who have never eaten chicken are told it tastes a bit like crocodile. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Sachin and Cosemai's national animal is the horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Sachin and Cosemai is ranked 55,757^th in the world and 459^th in the West Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 33.4 kickbacks per hour.
