The Soviet Socialist Republic of SAFT in TCB is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Comrade Dejana Brynestri with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful population of 5.484 billion SAFT in TCBians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The frighteningly efficient SAFT in TCBian economy, worth 892 trillion beers 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 162,763 beers, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Business is banging at no-tell motels, press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause, crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, and nerds everywhere are rejoicing as they are reunited with their computers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SAFT in TCB's national animal is the mothman, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
