The Absolute Dominion of Sithisstan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Maledictus Blaiser with an iron fist, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, aversion to nipples, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 6.537 billion Sils are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sithisburgh. The average income tax rate is 75.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Silic economy, worth a remarkable 1,698 trillion Sithis Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 259,863 Sithis Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The military will start wars with other nations on a lark, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, nuclear physics is the most popular course at university, and migrating birds in the nation's airspace are considered a violation of national sovereignty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sithisstan's national animal is the Sithian Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Silism.

Sithisstan is ranked 259,912th in the world and 6th in ATLANTIC TRIANGLE for Most Average, scoring 24.3 on the Average Standardized Normality Scale.
