The Frequently Inebriated Nation of Saugeen is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.534 billion Saugeenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maitland. The income tax rate is 100%.
The frighteningly efficient Saugeenian economy, worth an astonishing 23,400 trillion babies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 513,921 babies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime is totally unknown. Saugeen's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Saugeen is ranked 2,921st in the world and 1st in City Ankh Morpork for Safest, scoring 140.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
