The Duchy of Savoy is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Duke Giuseppe di Savoia with a fair hand, and renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic population of 9.069 billion Savoyards hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Turin. The average income tax rate is 9.2%.

The strong Savoyard economy, worth 429 trillion lire a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is 47,326 lire, with the richest citizens earning 5.1 times as much as the poorest.

The latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Savoy has designated Turin as its capital city, and Duke Giuseppe di Savoia has just been declared ruler of Savoy in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Savoy's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Savoy is ranked 275,542^nd in the world and 2^nd in Savoy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 54.6 law-abiding acts per hour.
