The Republic of Saciu is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Matheo Rethtino with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, otherworldly petting zoo, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.692 billion Sacienne enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sevona. The average income tax rate is 80.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sacian economy, worth a remarkable 3,117 trillion Mesas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 266,604 Mesas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Diplomatic missions typically end with a flurry of childish insults, accusations and phlegm, "Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and parents giddily refuse to pay their toddlers' medical bills. Crime is totally unknown. Saciu's national animal is the Forest Redwing, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Sacianisma.

Saciu is ranked 3,044^th in the world and 85^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 695.38 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
