The Satirical Sovereignty of You bastards is a massive, genial nation, ruled by El Presidento with an even hand, and notable for its national health service, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 1.436 billion Bastards are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pride Ring. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Bastardian economy, worth 135 trillion Carapaces 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 Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 94,032 Carapaces, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Medical staff can legally quiet people who ask for a second helping of Salisbury steak, a popular saying is "a chicken for every pot and an abortion clinic on every street", the nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, and You bastards isn't what it used to be. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. You bastards's national animal is the Orca, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Nothing.

You bastards is ranked 55,251st in the world and 1st in Die World for Safest, scoring 101.09 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
