The Kingdom of Sabaleta is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The cynical population of 310 million Sabaletans are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marcos Grace. The average income tax rate is 74.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Sabaletan economy, worth 30.0 trillion Selus a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,670 Selus, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Barbed wire entanglements and guard towers surround the Marcos Grace Natural History Museum, minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, the nation has always been at war with Bigtopia, and power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sabaleta's national animal is the Murrah buffalo, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sabaleta is ranked 93,999^th in the world and 2,578^th in The North Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 67 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
