The Kama'aina Kingdom of Sarigan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 48.229 billion Sariganians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Education, with Welfare also on the agenda, while Defense and Social Policy receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.2%.

The powerhouse Sariganian economy, worth a remarkable 5,444 trillion kalas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Pizza Delivery, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 112,885 kalas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 550,239 per year while the poor average 13,338, a ratio of 41.3 to 1.

Phone taps are frequently carried out by the police, inheritance tax has recently been abolished, the people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, and the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Sarigan's national animal is the golden plover, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Sarigan is ranked 60,234^th in the world and 2^nd in Hawaii for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 156.97 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
