The World of Sathan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Satan with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 37.694 billion Sathanians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valhalla. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Sathanian economy, worth an astonishing 10,543 trillion dracs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 279,706 dracs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, the government is hounded to provide tissues whenever the feelings of the Dàguó people are hurt, it turns out that trees grow on dracs, and the entire entry for Sathan in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sathan's national animal is the werewolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Satanism.

Sathan is ranked 22,377^th in the world and 21^st in Hell for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 291.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
