The Republic of Sayend is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.039 billion Sayendians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 8.9%.

The strong Sayendian economy, worth 130 trillion Sayendian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,206 Sayendian dollars, with the richest citizens earning 5.3 times as much as the poorest.

Foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer, Sayend has designated Sayend City as its capital city, and it is mandatory to learn evolution in schools. Crime is relatively low. Sayend's national animal is the Crested Hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Sayend is ranked 203,802^nd in the world and 2,364^th in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 30.85 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
