The Free Land of Saxtral is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 26 million Saxtralians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 66.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The fragile Saxtralian economy, worth 756 billion beans a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 29,061 beans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, trains and passengers alike are often late, parents who try to organize playdates for their kids have police drop through their ceilings, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Saxtral City Raccoons against long odds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saxtral's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saxtral is ranked 8,404^th in the world and 46^th in the Plains of Perdition for Least Corrupt Governments, with 94.53 percentage of bribes refused.
