The Sultanate of Saterun is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Sultan Omar Marja with an iron fist, and remarkable for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical population of 10.547 billion Sateryuns are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anasb. The average income tax rate is 73.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Saterna economy, worth 818 trillion sols a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 77,565 sols, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every product goes through extensive safety-testing by the government, attempts to inform people about their unclaimed property are often mistaken for telephone scams, the phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Sateryuns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saterun's national animal is the Jaguar, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom of religion.

Saterun is ranked 286,200th in the world and 11,053rd in Lazarus for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -15.22 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
