The Confederated Empire of Sarthale is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Arcturus von Apollyon with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 7.549 billion Sarthaleans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stradavar Citadel. The average income tax rate is 70.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sarthalean economy, worth 801 trillion Sarthalean Reichsmarks a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 106,106 Sarthalean Reichsmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, medical experts advise that those claiming to be medical experts are probably fraudsters, the government has forked out millions on an unmade bed that is apparently East Lebatuckese "art", and UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sarthale's national animal is the King eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Apollyonic Protestantism.

Sarthale is ranked 38,703rd in the world and 11th in Noneuropean Union for Most Stationary, with 1,175.2473728412 days.
