The Empire of Saptasindhu is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.294 billion Saptasindhuans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Administration, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare are ignored. The average income tax rate is 76.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Saptasindhuan economy, worth 523 trillion Himsags a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,372 Himsags, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Country folk are sent to obligatory boarding schools to learn how to be civilized, judges are rumored to find in favor of whoever bribes them the most, citizens are exhausted from weekly general elections, and factories grind to a halt every time there is an election. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saptasindhu's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saptasindhu is ranked 40,552^nd in the world and 80^th in The Union of Democratic States for Lowest Crime Rates, with 77.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
