The Antipodal Sidler of Sidlearctica is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Sleve McDichael with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 3.757 billion Sidlearcticans 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 enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Little Sidlearctica. The average income tax rate is 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sidlearctican economy, worth 107 trillion huisbrouwsels 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 Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. 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 28,644 huisbrouwsels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The canal flows through the land like a twisty turny thing, chess hooliganism is on the rise after the banning of organised sports, the nation's infamous boot camp is more brutal than most battlefields, and minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sidlearctica's national animal is the sidler and its national religion is Sidlism.

Sidlearctica is ranked 71,603^rd in the world and 37^th in USSR for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,413.41 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
