The Nomadic Peoples of Sikistan is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its frequent executions, complete lack of public education, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 773 million Sikistanians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The tiny government is primarily concerned with Spirituality, although Industry and Administration are also considered important, while Law & Order and Social Policy are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kwablo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.0%.

The all-consuming Sikistanian economy, worth 68.1 trillion Pearls a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Pizza Delivery, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 88,124 Pearls, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 362,428 per year while the poor average 14,127, a ratio of 25.7 to 1.

Citizens have to identify all the polar bears in a blizzard photo in order to access their bank account, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, the nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, and parents receive hefty fines for telling kids to eat their vegetables. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sikistan's national animal is the Kraken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Sikistan is ranked 281,962nd in the world and 300th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Safest, scoring 4.83 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
