The Kingdom of Sax is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by King Anton II with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.104 billion Saxons hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dresden. The average income tax rate is 66.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Saxon economy, worth 193 trillion Saxon Marks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,783 Saxon Marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Royal processions are often mistaken for pride parades, national stress about the waning heir-line is causing a rise in alopecia, school kids who pretend to drive imaginary cars get a social worker and a police observer assigned to them, and angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sax's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Evangelism.

Sax is ranked 49,285^th in the world and 565^th in Europe for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 149.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
