The Democratic Republic of Sayre is a tiny, genial nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The quiet, industrious population of 10 million Sayreans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 33.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The fair Sayrean economy, worth 408 billion Sayrian Sayrees a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,841 Sayrian Sayrees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

War vets look after war animals, banana distribution among collective farm workers is an important topic in public discourse, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and referenda can be called for any law at the request of at least one third of the voting population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sayre's national animal is the Gorilla, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Sayre is ranked 256,695^th in the world and 24^th in Kryndel for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -7.48 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
