The Kingdom of Sigmius is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Kanjo with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, soft-spoken computers, and state-planned economy. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.58 billion Sigmites are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Defense and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Vespilon. The average income tax rate is 60.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sigmian economy, worth a remarkable 1,612 trillion Phis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 97,237 Phis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Kanjo to meetings with foreign heads of state, the new 'Who Wants To Be A Politician' election debate auditions are more popular than the debates themselves, and turning the other cheek is accompanied by a polite letter of complaint. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sigmius's national animal is the Chameleon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sigmius is ranked 36,192nd in the world and 8th in Equinox for Lowest Crime Rates, with 79.39 law-abiding acts per hour.
