The Supreme Republic of Sadore is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Basil Vanderbilt with an even hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and national health service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 13.064 billion Sadorens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Butterick. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sadoren economy, worth a remarkable 3,433 trillion runes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 262,856 runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strict term limits have been applied to all elected offices, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, religious leaders order congregants to love any neighbour who is just like themselves, and a little love goes a long way claim Sadoren news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sadore's national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Sadore is ranked 1,181^st in the world and 5^th in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Most Developed, scoring 98.44 on the Human Development Index.
