The Frequently Inebriated Nation of Saugeen is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, unlimited-speed roads, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.562 billion Saugeenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maitland. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Saugeenian economy, worth an astonishing 23,419 trillion babies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 514,011 babies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools, and the government's giant servers are often used as a tourist trap. Crime is totally unknown. Saugeen's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saugeen is ranked 22^nd in the world and 1^st in City Ankh Morpork for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 2,132.85 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
