“Vexilla Regis Prodeunt Inferni”

The Principality of Saxemberg is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by Prince Leopold Augustus Victor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.718 billion are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leopoldville. The average income tax rate is 89%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

The people of Saxemberg are renowned for their nihilistic attitudes, child labor has been outlawed, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been recorded, and the Saxemberg Enquirer offers weekly cash prizes for 'most blasphemous song, story, or cartoon'. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saxemberg's national animal is the sabbatic goat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Satanism, and its currency is the franc.

Saxemberg is ranked 7th in the region and 3,046th in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
