The Holy Easter of Sateru is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Santa Claus with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.188 billion Satis are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government is dominated by the Department of Industry, with Administration, Defense, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Styxia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sati economy, worth 827 trillion golds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 115,101 golds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,040,298 per year while the poor average 1,530, a ratio of 679 to 1.

Drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, citizens are frequently held up at gunpoint by their local pizza delivery boys, the nation is loathed abroad for dumping all of its waste in international waters, and bat-wagons to Styxia are often canceled due to excessive levels of manure on the roads. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Sateru's national animal is the bat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Titan worship.

Sateru is ranked 8,546th in the world and 1st in Astoria for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 98,066.71 Standard Monetary Units.
