The Christmas Holiday of Sadie Bear is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Santa with an even hand, and remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, smutty television, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate population of 14.874 billion Sadi Bars are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Administration, and Welfare are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of North Pole. The average income tax rate is 78.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Sadie Bearian economy, worth a remarkable 1,429 trillion Gold Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 96,077 Gold Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The only things written in the stars are arrest warrants for astrologers, the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery, edutainment video games are taking Sadie Bear's students to the next level, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sadie Bear's national animal is the Cow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sadie Bear is ranked 9,498th in the world and 19th in The Region That Has No Big Banks for Most Cultured, scoring 121 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
