The Sultanate of Sasts-Germain is a large, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 103 million Germainics are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.9%.

The strong Sasts-Germainian economy, worth 6.46 trillion licscoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 62,671 licscoins, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

The standard government reply to any query is "there is no spoon", chicken farmers must rise before the sun every day to gag their cockerels, tourists are kicked out if they express interest in their national sport, and politicians put their fingers in their ears and sing "la la la la" when walking past lobbyists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sasts-Germain's national animal is the Sallygaoter, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sasts-Germain is ranked 169,260^th in the world and 218^th in Edoca for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,051.61 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
