The Capitalist Republic of Saiwania is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Siberius with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.827 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Commerce, Education, and Defence. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saiwana. The average income tax rate is 25%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, parents are held criminally responsible for their children's crimes, business is adjusting to new gender equality policies in the workplace, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is a problem. Saiwania's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Saiwan.

Saiwania is ranked 587th in Mordor and 109,972nd in the world for Most Authoritarian, with 0.018 Stalins.
