The Croupier of The Sands Casino is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Lady Fortune with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.577 billion gamblers are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Industry, although Law & Order, Healthcare, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the poker table. The average income tax rate is 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient gambling economy, worth a remarkable 1,549 trillion chips a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 146,496 chips, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Serial killers who are released early distribute death but not their seed, judicial robes are the country's hottest fashion trend, indigenous tribal elders can be recognised by their designer watches and expensive suits, and Big Agriculture has the government by the nuts. 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 30,067^th in the world and 2^nd in The Sands for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 5,668.83 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
