The Aerospace Agency of Saphman is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Airbus A350-900 with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.36 billion Saphians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Kevin Port. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 76.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Saphmanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,252 trillion New Bingus Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 372,759 New Bingus Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,289,876 per year while the poor average 78,714, a ratio of 16.4 to 1.

Thick smog keeps Saphians from looking too far ahead, a citizen who thinks a slave is a deadbeat is entitled to make the descriptor literally true, Scrabble champions have been left scrambling for scraps, and financial investors are noting a boom in artillery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saphman's national animal is the Kevin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Krakenism.

Saphman is ranked 4,861^st in the world and 1^st in The Outskirts for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 569.48 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
