The Forest City of Saedova is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by -Vacant- with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, ubiquitous missile silos, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed population of 11.623 billion Saedovanes are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Resova Karaya. The average income tax rate is 47.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Saedovan economy, worth 684 trillion Wolfic Shervonets a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 58,914 Wolfic Shervonets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Human tissue is grown in vats as a delicacy as well as for transplants, shady doctors seem to have impeccable records, an aboriginal talking stick is used for leaders' debates at election time, and soiled underwear is being repurposed as (off-)white flags. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saedova's national animal is the Saedovan Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saedova is ranked 212,477th in the world and 2nd in Aurora Forest for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -2.5 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
