The Merchantile Entity of Satn is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Princeps Irene IV with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, frequent executions, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 10.648 billion Satine enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Augusta. The average income tax rate is 16.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Satine economy, worth a remarkable 3,712 trillion Köinsterlings a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 348,695 Köinsterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Hordes of unemployed lumberjacks have resorted to cutting down utility poles to satisfy their cravings, a little love goes a long way claim Satine news, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and the government defends a woman's right to choose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Satn's national animal is the Augustine Dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Satn is ranked 49,940^th in the world and 3^rd in Valaryia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,879.25 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
