The Protectorate of Sawmid is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Desser Mikisi with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, ritual sacrifices, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 2.115 billion Sawmidians 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 large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sikes. The average income tax rate is 69.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Sawmidian economy, worth 188 trillion Sawcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 89,004 Sawcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

The military is plagued with unethical researchers, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, bored sailors desperately hope that someone will shoot at them, and aristocracy is given the bird and called out as a lark. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sawmid's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sawmid is ranked 46,460^th in the world and 4^th in Southern Forest for Smartest Citizens, with 45.52 quips per hour.
