The Dominion of State Saud is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Marshalless Roxanne Burundzun with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 7.131 billion Sauds are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telbarch. The average income tax rate is 95.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Sauder economy, worth a remarkable 1,436 trillion Chielters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 201,483 Chielters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, State Saud isn't what it used to be, and pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. State Saud's national animal is the Cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

State Saud is ranked 14,382^nd in the world and 18^th in Eurth for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 8,405.84 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
