The Frequently Inebriated Nation of Saugeen is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.534 billion Saugeenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maitland. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Saugeenian economy, worth an astonishing 23,400 trillion babies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 513,909 babies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheese has become the new icon of political dissent, hundreds of subterranean tunnels are being built as part of "Project Morlock", the media seems excessively interested in what Leader is wearing this season, and toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters. Crime is totally unknown. Saugeen's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saugeen is ranked 2,923^rd in the world and 1^st in City Ankh Morpork for Safest, scoring 140.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
