The Federal Republic of Sapoe is a huge, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its national health service, unlimited-speed roads, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 351 million Sapoeans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Matalao. The average income tax rate is 66.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sapoese economy, worth 30.8 trillion lire a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,804 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are often put on hold for Call of Honor tournaments, money grows on trees, laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, and hiding wrinkles with make-up is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sapoe's national animal is the crocodile, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sapoe is ranked 238,037^th in the world and 10,925^th in the South Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 7.9 Obesity Rate.
