The Matriarchy of Sgaana is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Pod of the Immortal 8 Matriarch Orca with an even hand, and remarkable for its lack of airports, ban on automobiles, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 3.509 billion Orca are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Abundant Waters of Southern Oceans. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giga-Pod economy, worth 358 trillion Salmonidaes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 102,121 Salmonidaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's illegal to be caught on tape, visitors often mistake the toiletplex at music festivals for the main stage, preschools put children down for naps with milk, cookies, and a gruesome story of vengeance, and white chocolate is neither chocolate nor food. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sgaana's national animal is the Captive Human Trapped in a Bathtub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imprisoning Humans in their Own Bathtubs.

Sgaana is ranked 18,218^th in the world and 476^th in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,249.78 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
