The Grand Dominion of Sithisstan is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Imperator Maledictus Blaiser II with an iron fist, and notable for its flagrant waste-dumping, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.362 billion Sils are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sithisburgh. The average income tax rate is 85.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Silic economy, worth a remarkable 3,048 trillion Sithis Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 325,589 Sithis Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

All telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons', billions of Sithis Dollars are spent to take high-quality photos of the Sillic Raven Nebula, the most popular household pet in Sithisstan is the domestic minor, and property owners are terrified of pigeons nesting in their buildings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sithisstan's national animal is the Sillic Raven, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nihilistic Deism.

Sithisstan is ranked 37,345^th in the world and 2^nd in Bellumburgh for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 4,230.96 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
