The Oil Painted Joy of Saganye is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by a Neighbourly Scientist with an even hand, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 15.169 billion Saganyehilists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Roger's Neighbourhood. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Saganyehilist economy, worth a remarkable 6,203 trillion kind words 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 mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 408,981 kind words, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A child's only Trickster Night scare is the sight of their parents dancing, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and unemployed accountants keep double-entry ledgers of their benefit claims. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saganye's national animal is the friendly critters Bob Ross adopted, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is sorry for the inconvenience.

Saganye is ranked 102nd in the world and 1st in Mr Rogers Neighbourhood of Socialists for Lowest Crime Rates, with 284.13 law-abiding acts per hour.
