The Empire of Sitann Shara is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 854 million Sitann Sharans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sitania Sharad. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sitann Sharan economy, worth 60.1 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 70,344 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, community organizers have given up going door to door because nobody is home, authorities are looking for a stool pigeon to rat out who is stealing food from pigeon toilets, and biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sitann Shara's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sitann Shara is ranked 15,709^th in the world and 40^th in Karma for Nicest Citizens, with 25.69 average smiles per day.
