The State of Sassen-Anholt is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.708 billion Sassen-Anholtians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Welfare, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 19.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Sassen-Anholtian economy, worth 49.2 trillion Euros a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,794 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

100-year-old politicians are now a thing of the past, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and a major religion has been named as Sassen-Anholt's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sassen-Anholt's national animal is the Germany, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sassen-Anholt is ranked 286,465^th in the world and 10^th in Saxony Anhalt for Most Developed, scoring 48.5 on the Human Development Index.
