The Democratic States of Falkland and South Sandwich Islands is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Alison Blake with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.468 billion Falklanders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Welfare, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stanley. The average income tax rate is 80.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving a Falklander economy, worth 132 trillion Pounds 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 significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 90,005 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Moonshine has made a resurgence, the general public only knows their favorite politician's first name, convicted criminals are given free limo rides to jail, and teenagers performing appendectomies on their friends has become a popular schoolyard prank. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Falkland and South Sandwich Islands's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Falkland and South Sandwich Islands is ranked 16,210th in the world and 64th in The Union of Democratic States for Nicest Citizens, with 25.23 average smiles per day.
