The MACEDONIAN EMPIRE of Sandanski is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and punitive income tax rates. The quiet, industrious population of 49.169 billion Sandanskians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Welfare, although Environment, Spirituality, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sandanskian economy, worth a remarkable 1,401 trillion pirins a year, is highly specialized and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 28,502 pirins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sandanski's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sandanski is ranked 410^th in the world and 1^st in Azerbaijan for Largest Populations, with 49.2 billion capita.
