The Confederacy of Saorysa is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its museums and concert halls, avant-garde cinema, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 105 million Saorysians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 60.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Saorysian economy, worth 6.85 trillion khanos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 65,283 khanos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, sales of pregnancy testing kits are booming, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and machine gun nests are the latest must-have gardening trend. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saorysa's national animal is the wild horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saorysa is ranked 269,532^nd in the world and 433^rd in Starlight for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 1.6 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
