The Greater Republic of Sargossa is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by General Gregorio Emparán with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.622 billion Sargossans 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, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soluca. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Sargossan economy, worth an astonishing 11,349 trillion dinaras a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 301,684 dinaras, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,157,708 per year while the poor average 54,199, a ratio of 21.4 to 1.

Truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, travelers are subject to extensive searches if beet stains are visible on their clothing, comedians who make offensive jokes have their ticket proceeds seized, and handling people's data is proving an immersive experience. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Sargossa's national animal is the Great Manta, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sargossa is ranked 11,551st in the world and 6th in Rushmore for Most Cultured, scoring 107 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
