The Commonwealth of Savitri is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Iokaste Alkeides Vena Conn with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.26 billion Savitrians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Savitri City. The average income tax rate is 85.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Savitrian economy, worth 470 trillion shivers a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 144,270 shivers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, lending money has become a major liability, and libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars. Crime is totally unknown. Savitri's national animal is the shark, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Savitri is ranked 170,160^th in the world and 2,170^th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 138.8 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
