The Matriarchy of Sgaana is a massive, genial nation, ruled by The Pod of the Immortal 8 Matriarch Orca with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 3.551 billion Orca are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Abundant Waters of Southern Oceans. The average income tax rate is 94.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Giga-Pod economy, worth 365 trillion Salmonidaes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,809 Salmonidaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Out-of-work actors say they can't complain, the tenet of free speech is held dear, businesses often fire workers in favour of cheaper automatic systems, and poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sgaana's national animal is the Captive Human Trapped in a Bathtub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imprisoning Humans in their Own Bathtubs.
Sgaana is ranked 2,953rd in the world and 73rd in the South Pacific for Highest Food Quality, scoring 248.03 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
