The Kingdom of Sabaleta is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 437 million Sabotages are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcos Grace. The average income tax rate is 77.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sabaletan economy, worth 45.7 trillion Selus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,536 Selus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones, passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, and Griffin sanctuaries have been taken over by hydraulic fracturing sites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sabaleta's national animal is the griffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sabaleta is ranked 40,104^th in the world and 1,365^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 177.37 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
