The Southwestern Republic of Gran Saguaro is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Lou Pérez Loeb with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.257 billion Saguareños have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Armando. The average income tax rate is 21.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Saguareño economy, worth 165 trillion Saguaran Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. Average income is 73,287 Saguaran Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Imperfect Roman Catholicism has been named as Gran Saguaro's national religion, cheese has been labelled a dangerous weapon and banned, primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit, and the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Crime is totally unknown. Gran Saguaro's national animal is the Saguaran Desert Peccary and its national religion is Imperfect Roman Catholicism.

Gran Saguaro is ranked 20,077^th in the world and 4^th in Liberal Democratic Union for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 6,742.5 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
