The Republic of Sanors is a fledgling, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working, democratic population of 6 million Sanorsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 8.8%.

The strong Sanorsian economy, worth 371 billion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 61,992 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, mountain rescue missions can end with more people lost than found, and a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway. Crime is relatively low. Sanors's national animal is the swan, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sanors is ranked 52,856^th in the world and 286^th in the Outback for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 4,572.53 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
