The Republic of State of Saba is a large, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working, cynical population of 123 million State of Sabans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 31.8%.

The State of Saban economy, worth 6.28 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Gambling, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 51,059 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

When flight control tells pilots to alter course the usual reply is "No, YOU move!", the intelligence community is playing 4-D chess with an imaginary spy network, geosynchronous satellites are now manned by unpaid interns, and the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. State of Saba's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

State of Saba is ranked 295,065^th in the world and 1,443^rd in the Pacific for Largest Black Market, with 29.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
