The Empire of Saconian is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Charles I with an even hand, and notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-nosed population of 5.815 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Social Welfare, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Castle Saconia. The average income tax rate is 99%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Book Publishing.

Saconian's educational system is the envy of many and regarded as a pinnacle of academic achievement, a vast monorail network carries people all over the country, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saconian's national animal is the Golden Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the shard.

Saconian is ranked 479th in Europe and 98,902nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -35 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
