The Armed Republic of Sat Torion is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Generalissimo Gomez with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 7.584 billion Sat Torionians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kapstia. The average income tax rate is 32.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Sat Torionian economy, worth 487 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 64,304 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Generalissimo Gomez has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences, open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries, a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum, and abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sat Torion's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sat Torion is ranked 77,359^th in the world and 62^nd in Empire of Love for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.93 law-abiding acts per hour.
