The Leather and Lace of Sadodere is a mammoth, orderly nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, ubiquitous missile silos, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The cynical population of 8.665 billion Sadodereans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 47.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Sadoderean economy, worth 779 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,008 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.4 times as much as the poorest.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, commemoration of the Great Emmeria War costs almost as much as the war itself, some say Leader has gone MAD after authorizing the development of apocalyptic biological weapons, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sadodere's national animal is the eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Sadodere is ranked 77,805^th in the world and 2^nd in Emmeria for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,289.9 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
