The Incorporated States of Sarzonia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Nicole Lewis with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 17.902 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded individuals juggles the competing demands of Social Equality, Education, and Law & Order. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woodstock. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Soda Sales and Arms Manufacturing.

The government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, same-sex marriages are increasingly common, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', and government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sarzonia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is no religion, and its currency is the dollar.

Sarzonia is ranked 12th in Atlantian Oceania and 4,240th in the world for Most Influential, scoring 67 on the Soft Power Disbursement Rating.
