The Incorporated States of Sarzonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Grant Haffner with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 37.5 billion Sarzonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woodstock. The average income tax rate is 11.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sarzonian economy, worth a remarkable 7,370 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 196,540 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military funding has been stripped back, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, strategic bombers are being converted into preschools, and the internet has been placed under government control. Crime is totally unknown. Sarzonia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sarzonia is ranked 6,193^rd in the world and 9^th in Atlantian Oceania for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,490.05 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
