The United Nations of The Sarian is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Chief Executive with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 19.88 billion Saari have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bondstad. The average income tax rate is 3.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Saari economy, worth a remarkable 2,924 trillion Bondmunts a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 147,116 Bondmunts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

Crossbow bolts fill the skies if so much as a sparrow flies overhead, the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate, satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness, and it's considered providence that the political lexicon contains a syrup of company slogans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sarian's national animal is the Bustard, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The Sarian is ranked 9,779^th in the world and 2^nd in The Sariverse for Largest Retail Industry, scoring 11,864.81 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
