The Holy Empire of Saagar is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 759 million Saagarians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tsargrad. The average income tax rate is 75.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Saagarian economy, worth 75.7 trillion Golden Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is 99,749 Golden Drachmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens spend millions on microtransactions to feed virtual orphans while actual orphans starve overseas, community theaters are known for their bawdy renditions of 'Springtime for Leader', large areas of Saagar are not accessible by the public, and children as young as twelve are conscripted into the armed forces. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saagar's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saagar is ranked 81,296^th in the world and 173^rd in Wintreath for Smartest Citizens, with 36.16 quips per hour.
