The Croupier of The Sands Casino is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Lady Fortune with an even hand, and renowned for its compulsory military service, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.304 billion gamblers have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the poker table. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.
The frighteningly efficient gambling economy, worth a remarkable 1,460 trillion chips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 141,719 chips, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 422,630 per year while the poor average 37,212, a ratio of 11.4 to 1.
Politicians spend a lot of time hanging around kids' playgrounds, the standardised national curriculum requires that all-male classes be taught why they have periods, politicians are often seen attending regional history classes at primary schools within their constituencies, and the nation is The Sands's leading manufacturer of intricately-patterned sweaters. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Sands Casino's national animal is the gambler, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is getting rich quick.
The Sands Casino is ranked 56,636th in the world and 1st in The Sands for Most Cultured, scoring 70 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
