The Free Land of Saxtral is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 8 million Saxtralians 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 Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 59.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The basket case Saxtralian economy, worth 90.9 billion beans 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 mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 11,364 beans, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'Museum Of Stuff We Stole' is a tourist favourite, professionals are ready to retire by the time they receive permission to use their credentials, glancing at the car radio display while driving is treated as attempted homicide, and Saxtralian athletes are close to breaking the 2 minute mile and the 16 meter long jump. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saxtral's national animal is the raccoon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saxtral is ranked 327,372^nd in the world and 1,676^th in the Plains of Perdition for Highest Average Incomes, with 11,364.42 Standard Monetary Units.
