The Dominion of Sapphiria is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.718 billion Sapphirians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Defense and International Aid aren't funded at all. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Sapphirian economy, worth a remarkable 4,225 trillion Talons a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 268,858 Talons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Children are raised bilingual from an early age, lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, and the Museum of Blackacrean War Crimes is located on "Blackacre Did Nothing Wrong Avenue". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sapphiria's national animal is the Dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is the Tranquility of Yellow.
Sapphiria is ranked 216,419th in the world and 5th in The Empire of Draconic States for Most Conservative, scoring 49.67 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
