The Semiconnection States of Savanni is a mammoth, cultured nation, remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 9.347 billion Savannians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Environment is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Liberyanna. The average income tax rate is 86.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Savanni economy, worth a remarkable 2,158 trillion Grams 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. 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 230,978 Grams, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, schools have extensive counseling programs for troubled students, and morale within the seismologist community has hit rock bottom. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Savanni's national animal is the Monster, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Savanni is ranked 180,435^th in the world and 4^th in The Finntopian Region of DOOM for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 354.09 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
