The Unicameral Federal Republic of St Saratoga is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Jonathan Stewart with a fair hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, strictly enforced bedtime, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 23.442 billion Saratogans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rogerbei. The average income tax rate is 70.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saratogan economy, worth a remarkable 5,757 trillion Kredits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 245,596 Kredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, flu research is commonly shut down for fear of creating a superbug, crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters, and wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Saratoga's national animal is the Beavers, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Hoot.

St Saratoga is ranked 14,779^th in the world and 6^th in New Coalition of Nations for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 19.62 Bank.
