The Dictatorship of Republic Sickle is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Dobun with an iron fist, and notable for its vat-grown people, ubiquitous missile silos, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 2.375 billion Republicans 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, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Serp City. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Republic Sicklean economy, worth 459 trillion Rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 193,263 Rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, wildlife near farms is slowly becoming extinct, the government props up questionable pizza establishments in the name of health, and space shuttles regularly launch rubbish into space. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Republic Sickle's national animal is the Deer, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Republic Sickle is ranked 271,830^th in the world and 13,011^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 4.7 Obesity Rate.
