The Serene Compassionate Utopia of Safj is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Tree Person with a fair hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and soft-spoken computers. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 35.204 billion Safjians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Garfield. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Safjian economy, worth an astonishing 14,452 trillion Ivoxes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 410,533 Ivoxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, the nation leads Texas in per capita stalking, government officials sit helplessly as they are labelled 'Pompous Womples' by celebrities, and Tree Person's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime is totally unknown. Safj's national animal is the Dodo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Safj is ranked 47^th in the world and 1^st in Texas for Healthiest Citizens, with 68.61 Bananas Ingested Per Day.
