The Supreme Republic of Sadore is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Comrade Basil Vanderbilt with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, smutty television, and national health service. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 12.989 billion Sadorens are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Law & Order, with Education and Healthcare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Butterick. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Sadoren economy, worth a remarkable 3,406 trillion runes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 262,247 runes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Search-and-rescue organisations are the biggest employer in the country, flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, nine-year-olds are discovering that they can grow gardens in real life too, and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sadore's national animal is the bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Sadore is ranked 331,825^th in the world and 263^rd in The Land of Kings and Emperors for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
