The Kingdom of Sashastaj is a huge, safe nation, ruled by Princess Sara with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 862 million Sashastajians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The enormous, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Saraj. The average income tax rate is 73.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sashastajian economy, worth 46.7 trillion deniers a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 54,122 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, being doxxed on social media is now mandatory, the average commuter spends four hours a day driving to and from work, and the Federal Council of Sashastaj has been announced as the new Head of State. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sashastaj's national animal is the paradise bird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sashastaj is ranked 39,799^th in the world and 802^nd in the South Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 75 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
