The Oil Painted Joy of Saganye is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by a Neighbourly Scientist with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, daily referendums, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.327 billion Saganyehilists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Roger's Neighbourhood. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Saganyehilist economy, worth a remarkable 6,298 trillion kind words a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 410,929 kind words, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation locks people up and tells them they're mad for compassion's sake, former stunt pilots are unable to pass the licence test to fly a drone, the government is avowedly secular, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Mr Roger's Neighbourhood" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saganye's national animal is the friendly critters Bob Ross adopted, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is sorry for the inconvenience.

Saganye is ranked 99^th in the world and 1^st in Mr Rogers Neighbourhood of Socialists for Lowest Crime Rates, with 284.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
