The Dominion of State Saud is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Marshalless Roxanne Burundzun with an iron fist, and renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful population of 12.461 billion Sauds are ruled with an iron fist by the socialist government, which grants its people the freedom to do whatever they like so long as it doesn't involve getting richer than anybody else or challenging the government.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Telbarch. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sauder economy, worth a remarkable 2,684 trillion Chielters a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 215,397 Chielters, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Some achieve retirement and some have retirement thrust upon them, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, starving citizens are offered nuclear pasta, and trade policy consists of ganging up on the new guy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. State Saud's national animal is the Cobra, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

State Saud is ranked 331,330^th in the world and 275^th in Eurth for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 16.97 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
