The United Federal Republic of Saohoa is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Secretary General Fang with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 1.716 billion Soahoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sagallo. The average income tax rate is 70.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saohoan economy, worth 198 trillion Credits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 115,805 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signatures have been replaced with illegible scribbles, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, the nation's beloved 'good-natured doormat' is inundated by begging letters, and the "swords to plowshares" policy has created a generation of farmers that can kill a yak from 200 yards away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saohoa's national animal is the Osprey, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saohoa is ranked 27,982^nd in the world and 800^th in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,714.25 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
