The Unicameral Federal Republic of St Saratoga is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chancellor Jonathan Stewart with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, free-roaming dinosaurs, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 18.872 billion Saratogans enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, corrupt 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 49.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Saratogan economy, worth a remarkable 4,709 trillion Kredits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 249,532 Kredits, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

There's a lot of smoke from the nation's "green economy", multiple births are a cause of celebration for tax collectors, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, and high school bands practice by moonlight. 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 frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Providence.

St Saratoga is ranked 161,213^th in the world and 8^th in New Coalition of Nations for Most Primitive, scoring -729.5 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
