The Imperium of Saitair is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Kaiser Saitair III with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.365 billion Saitairians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saithiron. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saitairian economy, worth a remarkable 2,859 trillion Imperialis a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 275,893 Imperialis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saitairian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Kaiser Saitair III, relations with Merovingia are as cold as Saitair's skill with the blade, the might of the entire Saitairian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, and no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saitair's national animal is the Eagle Imperialus, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Faith of the Old World.

Saitair is ranked 261,777^th in the world and 14,118^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -6.59 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
