The Haven of Satelight is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Alexander Romenenko with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 10.649 billion are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whoever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Healthcare and Social Equality are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ebor. The average income tax rate is 99%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The government is spending billions of taxpayer Euros to support the Book Publishing industry, the government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, and the government has begun selling heroin and ecstasy to help fund its projects. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Satelight's national animal is the Liquid Snake, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Euro.

Satelight is ranked 117th in European Union and 100,892nd in the world for Shortest Average Lifespan, scoring -53 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
