The Most Serene Republic of Sartaria is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Camila Huntington with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic population of 16.693 billion Sartarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — prioritizes Education, although Environment, Welfare, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dotras. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Sartarian economy, worth a remarkable 1,529 trillion Sartis a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 91,622 Sartis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Hidden bedroom-cams are installed to catch mothers doing their kids' homework, paranoid museum guards keep a lookout for any animated displays attempting to escape the premises after dark, films are funded in accordance with the volume of tears shed when reading the screenplay, and environmental legislation occurs cyclically. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sartaria's national animal is the Albatross, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Sartaria is ranked 217,564th in the world and 6,337th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 31.19878558832 days.
