The Incorporated States of Sarzonia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Grant Haffner with an even hand, and remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads, national health service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 46.574 billion Sarzonians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Woodstock. The average income tax rate is 42.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sarzonian economy, worth a remarkable 9,119 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 195,814 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parties that are too noisy are broken up to prevent disturbing wildlife, people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations, sex changes are routinely performed at Sarzonia's hospitals, and the price of takeaway food quadruples after 6pm. Crime is totally unknown. Sarzonia's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sarzonia is ranked 11,751^st in the world and 3^rd in Arrosia for Highest Average Incomes, with 195,814.74 Standard Monetary Units.
