The Matriarchy of Sgaana is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Pod of the Immortal 8 Matriarch Orca with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 3.532 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 94.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Giga-Pod economy, worth 361 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 102,443 Salmonidaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Corporations are forbidden from employing outside the nation, kids are told they can be whoever they want to be when they grow up, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and nobody looks each other in the eye at neighborhood block parties any more. 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 288,975^th in the world and 5,369^th in the South Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -21.91 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
