The People's Republic of SanSierra is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Alfonso San Pedro with a fair hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 858 million SanSierrans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sanhueza. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient SanSierran economy, worth 51.1 trillion NAS a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 59,582 NAS, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, 'The Anti-Government Hour' is a popular programme on many of SanSierra's radio stations, Sanhueza University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and 4-year-olds are often found reminiscing about the 'good old days'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SanSierra's national animal is the NA, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SanSierra is ranked 255,342^nd in the world and 4,590^th in The East Pacific for Most Pacifist, with 25.13 cheeks turned per day.
