The Republic of Sforzesca is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.351 billion Sforzescans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vigevano. The average income tax rate is 72.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sforzescan economy, worth 448 trillion Sforzescan Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 83,789 Sforzescan Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Water fights now end with thousands dead, plain-clothes police officers follow Dàguó tourists everywhere they go, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sforzesca's national animal is the gray wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic Christianity.

Sforzesca is ranked 29,038th in the world and 1,844th in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.3 law-abiding acts per hour.
