The State of Sargassia is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 26.092 billion Sargassians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Industry, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The thriving Sargassian economy, worth a remarkable 1,527 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 58,526 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 266,355 per year while the poor average 7,861, a ratio of 33.9 to 1.

Sargassia's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, corporations donate huge sums of money to favored politicians, Sargassia has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Sargassia in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sargassia's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sargassia is ranked 210,164^th in the world and 6^th in Cotonou for Most Beautiful Environments, with 468.87 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
