The Union of South African Republics is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Cornelis de Brand with a fair hand, and renowned for its burgeoning springbok population. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 23.971 billion South Africans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pretoria. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.9%.

The very strong South African economy, worth 937 trillion rand a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is quite specialized and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 39,110 rand, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

South African Republics has designated Pretoria as its capital city and President Cornelis de Brand has just been declared ruler of South African Republics in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. South African Republics's national animal is the springbok, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

South African Republics is ranked 112,467^th in the world and 4^th in Planeet Aarde for Highest Food Quality, scoring 20.78 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
