State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,922 Bones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Sansvich's national animal is the Human Child, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Sansvich is ranked 143,670^th in the world and 6,047^th in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 9.38 Obesity Rate.
