The Federal Kingdom of Satreburg 2 is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its national health service, disturbing lack of elderly people, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 738 million Hanasinans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karion. The average income tax rate is 69.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hanasinan economy, worth 72.2 trillion Hanasinish Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 97,833 Hanasinish Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, trust-fund babies line up for places in community college, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and beggars lack pockets for spare change. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Satreburg 2's national animal is the Krone Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Satreburg 2 is ranked 69,536^th in the world and 1,212^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 23.94 flags saluted per person per day.
