The Fiefdom of Sai Jouk is a small, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 26 million Joukirin are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.7%.

The Sai Joukirian economy, worth 946 billion rounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Basket Weaving, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,421 rounds, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, foreign leaders who don't applaud Leader's speeches are regarded as enemies of Sai Jouk, foreign musicians that Leader dislikes are turned away at the border, and camera crews have accompanied conscripted dancers to film 'Marching On Ice'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sai Jouk's national animal is the dragonfish, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Sai Jouk is ranked 191,764^th in the world and 672^nd in Concord for Highest Drug Use, scoring 107.26 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
