The Kingdom of Sabaleta is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The cynical population of 422 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 76.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sabaletan economy, worth 44.1 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 104,429 Selus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Discarded pennies litter the streets, corporate lobbying has been outlawed, wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, and the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches. 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 227,497^th in the world and 5,140^th in The North Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.52 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
