The Verdronken Land of Saeftinge is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Jos with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 32.009 billion Saeftingeans 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, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saeftinge. The average income tax rate is 95.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Saeftingean economy, worth a remarkable 3,445 trillion euros a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. Average income is an impressive 107,636 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Saeftingean roads, the dish 'poisson avec poison' is only available on the black market, the government insists that a ghost voted ten million times in the last election, and children's TV shows are having a gay old time. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saeftinge's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saeftinge is ranked 233,974th in the world and 6,994th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 23.23437401888 days.
