The Republic of Saratin is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.369 billion Saratinians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saratin City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Saratinian economy, worth a remarkable 2,112 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 252,391 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 8.0 times as much as the poorest.
The judicial branch is strongly influenced by major corporations, tourists outnumber citizens two to one, road rage is rarer but more terminal now that many people drive fully-operational battle tanks to work, and the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saratin's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
Saratin is ranked 269,383rd in the world and 328th in The League for Most Conservative, scoring 32.75 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
