The Aerospace Agency of Saphman is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Airbus A350-900 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.394 billion Saphians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of South Kevin Port. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Saphmanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,271 trillion New Bingus Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 374,678 New Bingus Dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,511,621 per year while the poor average 21,001, a ratio of 119 to 1.

Priests roam the streets with child-catcher nets, Saphmanian military drills look more like joint-The Outskirts exercises than anything else, it's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, and the ongoing space elevator construction project has elevated the national debt to all new levels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saphman's national animal is the Kevin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Krakenism.

Saphman is ranked 72,981^st in the world and 7^th in The Outskirts for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,722.36 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
