The Most Serene Republic of Safiz is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Peace Council with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.671 billion Safizians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mir. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Safizian economy, worth 451 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,737 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, the love has gone in Safiz, customer satisfaction with online delivery services is at an all time high, and the tightness of border controls in Safiz leave a little to be desired. Crime is totally unknown. Safiz's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Safiz is ranked 21,030^th in the world and 301^st in the West Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 272.54 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
