The Republic of SI-3 is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 16.395 billion SI-3ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 20.7%.

The strong SI-3ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,130 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,967 $$s, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 196,337 per year while the poor average 19,329, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Imitation is the sincerest form of felony, travelers often bring empty plastic bottles on Air SI-3 flights to avoid the pay lavatories, the judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, and political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SI-3's national animal is the Death's-head Hawkmoth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

SI-3 is ranked 7,216th in the world and 1st in Spanish Inquisition for Most Stationary, with 2,753.88839723252 days.
