The Capitalistic Republic of S_diego is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, deadly medical pandemics, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 46.169 billion S_diegoans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The minute, corrupt government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of S_diego City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient S_diegoan economy, worth an astonishing 20,413 trillion gold nuggets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 442,154 gold nuggets, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, gay couples have to travel to Brancaland to find a church that will actually let them wed, and an IT mega-corporation has a patent pending on the rectangle. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. S_diego's national animal is the puppy, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

S_diego is ranked 315,916^th in the world and 4^th in punk for Most Patriotic, with 0.17 flags saluted per person per day.
