The Principality of Sigfridia is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 716 million Sigfridians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 75.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sigfridian economy, worth 33.2 trillion Sigfrid Crowns 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is 46,429 Sigfrid Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, and political hopefuls must announce their intentions decades in advance to accommodate extensive background checks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigfridia's national animal is the Crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sigfridia is ranked 247,765^th in the world and 11,988^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring -64.13 on the Hayek Index.
