The Matriarchy of Sgaana is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Pod of the Immortal 8 Matriarch Orca with an even hand, and renowned for its lack of airports, ban on automobiles, and daily referendums. The compassionate population of 3.451 billion Orca are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Abundant Waters of Southern Oceans. The average income tax rate is 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Giga-Pod economy, worth 345 trillion Salmonidaes a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 100,102 Salmonidaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The idiom 'there are plenty of fish in the sea' isn't so reassuring to Orca, the mood of raunchy movies is often ruined by the sound of babies crying, politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, and the army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sgaana's national animal is the Captive Human Trapped in a Bathtub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imprisoning Humans in their Own Bathtubs.

Sgaana is ranked 23,249^th in the world and 517^th in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 87.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
