The Matriarchy of Satrium is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 2.374 billion Satrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jupiter. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Satrian economy, worth 153 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 64,490 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses have become paranoid as waves of lawsuits sweep the nation, the government is using tax revenues to provide jobs for the poor, access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery, and demand for gourmet white truffles is on the rise. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Satrium's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Satrium is ranked 18,061^st in the world and 635^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 91 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
