The Follow the rainbow of Sandwich Turtle is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Parry Gripp with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, fear of technology, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.392 billion Sandwich Turtleans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cheese. The average income tax rate is 76.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sandwich Turtlean economy, worth a remarkable 1,988 trillion sandwiches a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Retail, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,514 sandwiches, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's streets have become a winter wonderland of salt and sand, illicit spice trade makes desert merchants wrangling worms blush, tourists soak their luggage in boiling water before unpacking, and the tightness of border controls in Sandwich Turtle leave a little to be desired. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sandwich Turtle's national animal is the turtle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is music.

Sandwich Turtle is ranked 39,912th in the world and 5th in Bytes for Most Developed, scoring 79.72 on the Human Development Index.
