The Most Serene Republic of Saulini is a large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 192 million Saulinians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Saulinian economy, worth 7.09 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,930 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Doctors prescribe medicines but they rarely dispense hope or compassion, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds, and increasing numbers of children in Saulini have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saulini's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saulini is ranked 164,218th in the world and 718th in NationStates for Most Developed, scoring 54.98 on the Human Development Index.
