The Former Esgonian Nation of Saradena is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by President Rakosanka Akinojeka with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 22.836 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 78.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Esgonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,699 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 118,221 Faulks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, cancer rates amongst the richest in society are inexplicably on the rise, savvy students quote paywalled research knowing that university lecturers can't afford to check the citations, and the government is seen as openly hostile to all religion. 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 14,845^th in the world and 883^rd in Balder for Longest Average Lifespans, with 91 years.
