The Special Autonomous Region of Saradena is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Rakosanka Akinojeka with a fair hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 17.529 billion Esgonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldrichta. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The all-consuming Esgonian economy, worth a remarkable 1,955 trillion Faulks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,538 Faulks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
When you fly on Air Saradena you win a seat or you die, former arsonists can be found on local fire brigades, economists have been named Invertebrates of the Year, and members of the government all have oddly similar anecdotes about their childhoods. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saradena's national animal is the Akalkapan Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Saradena is ranked 58,913th in the world and 1st in Novae Terrae for Most Stationary, with 778.3023838306 days.
