The Republic of Ssaohzesaims is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.504 billion Ssaohzesaimsians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 83.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ssaohzesaimsian economy, worth 809 trillion Yen a year, is led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 124,500 Yen, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 391,036 per year while the poor average 30,350, a ratio of 12.9 to 1.

Only government officials may operate computers, teddy bear James Dean (aka "the Rebel Without the Claws") helps convince kids that candy cigarettes are cool, children use fake IDs to purchase candy, and casino tax breaks are even bigger than their jackpots. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ssaohzesaims's national animal is the Scorpion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ssaohzesaims is ranked 102,660th in the world and 1,273rd in Two for Most Stationary, with 414.06554749788 days.
