The Grand Duchy of Saxmere is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Grand Duke James with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, daily referendums, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 22.515 billion Saxmereans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Umbra. The average income tax rate is 68.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The strong Saxmerean economy, worth a remarkable 1,338 trillion Atlantic Ducats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,468 Atlantic Ducats, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Foragers descend on national cemeteries for 'all-you-can-dig-up' extravaganzas, coffee cups have grown in size to accommodate the huge ingredients list, employers are finding it hard to screen candidates now that everyone gets A grades in their exams, and embarrassed police officers wear spandex and carry net guns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saxmere's national animal is the feathered penguine, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.
Saxmere is ranked 226,138th in the world and 29th in Western Atlantic for Fattest Citizens, with 8.67 Obesity Rate.
