The Sovereign Crown Republic of St Saratoga is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sainte-Queen Kathrine Durant with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 34.583 billion Saratogans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mjölstrand. The average income tax rate is 77.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saratogan economy, worth a remarkable 8,723 trillion Kredits a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 252,248 Kredits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mjölstrand consists only of government buildings and the mansions of government janitors, museum visitors often bring lemons and black lights, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, and aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Saratoga's national animal is the Elk, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Divine Providence.

St Saratoga is ranked 3,705^th in the world and 2^nd in New Coalition of Nations for Largest Populations, with 34.6 billion capita.
