The Former Esgonian Nation of Saradena is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Rakosanka Akinojeka with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate population of 22.64 billion Esgonians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and look forward to their next free and open election, to be held on an as-yet unannounced date.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Eldrichta. The average income tax rate is 78.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Esgonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,649 trillion Faulks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,009 Faulks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Environmentalists are advocating slash-and-burn in the nation's forests, old spellbooks are only useful as door-stops or toilet roll substitute, pilots always remember to send their doctors a Maxxmas card, and the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saradena's national animal is the Akalkapan Horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saradena is ranked 25,379^th in the world and 1,470^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 110.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
