The Meritocratic Kingdom of Saidelia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by People's Grand Assembly of Saidelia with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.904 billion Turks have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Annibale di Barca. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Turkish economy, worth 156 trillion Chrones a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 81,936 Chrones, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

The single fish caught by Turkish fishers last year is cited as evidence of Saidelia's thriving fisheries, young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saidelia's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Saidelia is ranked 72,701^st in the world and 2^nd in Countries of the World for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 2,555.59 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
