The Reptilian Species of Planet Sauria is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Aennik Okeg with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, barren, inhospitable landscape, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 6.008 billion Saurians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lyaksti'kton. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Saurian economy, worth 771 trillion Federation Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Gambling, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an impressive 128,422 Federation Credits, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 619,575 per year while the poor average 15,475, a ratio of 40.0 to 1.

Government policies change at the drop of a rabbit, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, insomnia is slowly turning everyone insane, and the government has cut its subsidies for all special interest groups. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Planet Sauria's national animal is the Saurian Spider, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Planet Sauria is ranked 241,414^th in the world and 124^th in United Earth Space Probe Agency for Healthiest Citizens, with 0.68 bananas ingested per day.
