The Democratic Republic of Sigmabiber is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its smutty television, digital currency, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.098 billion Sigmabiberians 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, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 80.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sigmabiberian economy, worth 112 trillion Credits 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 led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 102,424 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, not all rivers run to the sea, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and election ballot papers are so long that unused ones are recycled as toilet roll. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigmabiber's national animal is the Commrade bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sigmabiber is ranked 7,360^th in the world and 36^th in Starlight for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 5,347.26 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
