The Borderlands of Sakeris is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.136 billion Sakerisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 48.5%.

The Sakerisian economy, worth 61.7 trillion Saks a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 54,293 Saks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, military spending is on the increase, bleach is the nation's most common pesticide, and the single fish caught by Sakerisian fishers last year is cited as evidence of Sakeris's thriving fisheries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakeris's national animal is the Pengalin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sakeris is ranked 102,627^th in the world and 10^th in Biberland for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 1,932.49 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
