The Borderlands of Sakeris is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, public floggings, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 756 million Sakerisians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 49.1%.

The Sakerisian economy, worth 40.1 trillion Saks a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 53,096 Saks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering, deli patrons examine their roast beef for undetonated explosives, hit TV show 'The eXecution Factor' is a critical success, and military spending is on the increase. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sakeris's national animal is the Pengalin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sakeris is ranked 141,776^th in the world and 6^th in Biberland for Highest Poor Incomes, with 24,302.89 Standard Monetary Units.
