The Republic of Sitobild is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate and suspicion of poets. The cynical population of 8.719 billion Sitobildians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.
The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The large but inefficient Sitobildian economy, worth 279 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,038 bitcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Professional athletes juggle part-time jobs to avoid bankruptcy, urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, every day has been a surprise since weather reporters turned to consulting ancient totems for their seven-day forecasts, and people who have lived their entire lives in Sitobild are shocked to discover that they are not citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sitobild's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Sitobild is ranked 169,750th in the world and 7,083rd in Lazarus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,018.93 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
