The Federation of Republic of Satherland is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Interim PM George Michaelson with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 2.144 billion Satherlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Corand. The average income tax rate is 29.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Satherlandic economy, worth 306 trillion Satherlandic Crowns a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 143,132 Satherlandic Crowns, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Rundown towns are frequently sold to billionaires for their pet projects, cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, the moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, and mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined. Crime is totally unknown. Republic of Satherland's national animal is the Kingfisher, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Republic of Satherland is ranked 134,528^th in the world and 543^rd in Europe for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 52.6 on the Hayek Index.
