The Principality of Satay is a tiny, orderly nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12 million Satayians 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Satayian economy, worth 525 billion imperial colpeses a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Automobile Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 43,783 imperial colpeses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Satay's national animal is the kuah kacang.

Satay is ranked 272,285^th in the world and 24^th in Heliopolis for Most Politically Free, scoring 20 on the Diebold Election Inking Scale.
