The Singing Snakes of Savai is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by PM Robert with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, humorless population of 30.667 billion Savaians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dasa. The average income tax rate is 75.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Savaian economy, worth a remarkable 2,885 trillion talats a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 94,083 talats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, and juvenile delinquents are fitter than ever. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Savai's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Savai is ranked 292,892^nd in the world and 11,031^st in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 4.42 law-abiding acts per hour.
