“Vexilla Regis Prodeunt Inferni”

The Principality of Saxemberg is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Prince Leopold Augustus Victor with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.469 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 is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Education are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leopoldville. The average income tax rate is 97%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Book Publishing industries.

The nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, Saxemberg is notorious for its citizens' infidelity, and government officials are held to the highest standard of morality. 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 35th in the region and 49,836th in the world for Highest Unemployment Rates.
