The Parliamentary Republic of Saulope is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Toby Jr with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, unlimited-speed roads, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.113 billion Saulopeans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Penguinini. The average income tax rate is 20.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saulopean economy, worth 139 trillion Penguis a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 125,331 Penguis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Protecting the land is holey work, an increasingly villainous series of sports coaches are demanding the national mascot's true identity, bin lorries have replaced birds as the source of the dawn chorus, and the Messiah (formerly known as Brian) is a mayoral candidate. Crime is totally unknown. Saulope's national animal is the Penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Christianity.

Saulope is ranked 284,870^th in the world and 744^th in Europe for Largest Black Market, with 54.0 billion Standard Monetary Units.
