The Birds Singing German Songs of Sahico is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 894 million Sahicans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the Tree of Songbirds. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sahican economy, worth 94.9 trillion twigs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 106,152 twigs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, 'Abstinence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder' is a common school motto, prices for nearly everything reach all-time highs as business tax breaks are discontinued, and people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Sahico's national animal is the pigeon and crow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sahico is ranked 7,262^nd in the world and 18^th in Spiritus for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 14,105.33 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
