The Chronosynclastic Infundibulm of Sadakoyama is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Council of Sciencemasters with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 24.192 billion Sadakhan are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Environment, Healthcare, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ys. The average income tax rate is 79.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sadakhan economy, worth a remarkable 2,629 trillion VHS a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,691 VHS, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, families returning from international vacations are unable to get their children back into the country, and out-of-work actors say they can't complain. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sadakoyama's national animal is the Slimy Thing, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sadakoyama is ranked 291,163rd in the world and 10,931st in Osiris for Lowest Crime Rates, with 22.74 law-abiding acts per hour.
