Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Most Serene Republic of Sare3 is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sare with a fair hand, and renowned for its hatred of cheese. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 1.426 billion enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Welfare, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elora. The average income tax rate is 96%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Schoolchildren have twice-weekly sex education classes, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, the poor are often seen pale and dizzy after selling their blood to make ends meet, and a government program is underway to revitalize Sare3's beaches. Crime is totally unknown. Sare3's national animal is the Unicorn, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Taoism, and its currency is the Opal.

Sare3 is ranked 3rd in Dromenland and 98,993rd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -35 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
