The Matriarchy of Satrium is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, parental licensing program, and national health service. The compassionate population of 2.542 billion Satrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jupiter. The average income tax rate is 75.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Satrian economy, worth 169 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 66,713 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public buses smell like litter boxes, vote-counting is replacing kitchen patrol as the least glamorous army work, online weather reports are predicting five years of glorious sunshine for Satrium, and third world countries are rich in "I Love Jupiter" t-shirts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Satrium's national animal is the crow, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Satrium is ranked 73,430^th in the world and 946^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,879.15 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
