The Federal Kserdom of Satreburg is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Louis Vassi with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, pith helmet sales, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 3.057 billion Hanasinans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Karion. The average income tax rate is 66.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hanasinan economy, worth 474 trillion Hanasinish Kroner a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,274 Hanasinish Kroner, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Interviewees for teaching jobs are waterboarded to "reveal undesirable histories", truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon, there's more pink stuff on sale these days, and children of nonreligious parents are often barred from school festival events. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Satreburg's national animal is the Imperial Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Veristian.

Satreburg is ranked 250,511^th in the world and 5,201^st in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -6.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
