The People's Republic of Sargonastan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Sargonas with an even hand, and renowned for its happy-go-lucky citizens. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 7.832 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, the Environment, and Social Equality. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sargon City. The average income tax rate is 100%. 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.

Elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, droves of former desperados are applying to join the border police, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is totally unknown. Sargonastan's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is homage to Lord Sargonas, and its currency is the Sargon.

Sargonastan is ranked 1,530th in Lazarus and 65,722nd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 17 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
