The State of Sondag is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by the Governor with an iron fist, and renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 17.488 billion Sondagians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 69.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Sondagian economy, worth 75.3 trillion betales 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Furniture Restoration, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. 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 4,308 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Popular cartoon characters frequently appear in government-sponsored PSAs reminding students to say no to drugs, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, and political candidates recite daily pledges of loyalty to their chosen party. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sondag's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sondag is ranked 57,146^th in the world and 1^st in South Georgia Islands for Most Corrupt Governments, with 32.07 kickbacks per hour.
