The Federal Republic of Biot-Savart is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Belle Ampere with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.821 billion Savartines are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Coulomb. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Biot-Savartian economy, worth 683 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 141,878 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is currently revamping its entire education system, the Supreme Court vehemently protects civil rights and the right to privacy, internet searches for the inventor of the three-wheeled steam-powered Biot-Savartian weed picker are way up, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Biot-Savart's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Biot-Savart is ranked 2,745^th in the world and 64^th in the Pacific for Safest, scoring 141.58 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
