The Incorporated States of Sarzonia is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by President Grant Haffner with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 41.242 billion Sarzonians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woodstock. The average income tax rate is 30.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sarzonian economy, worth a remarkable 8,146 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 197,518 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, conspiracy theorists allege Woodstock's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, skateparks can be found in every city, and the tenet of free speech is held dear. Crime is totally unknown. Sarzonia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sarzonia is ranked 10,045th in the world and 7th in Arrosia for Most Cultured, scoring 118 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
