The Holy Empire of The Sabre is a huge, safe nation, ruled by The Brown with an iron fist, and renowned for its daily referendums, irreverence towards religion, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 786 million Sabreans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Talwarion. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sabrean economy, worth 79.3 trillion Pound Sterlings a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,896 Pound Sterlings, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Businesses are abandoning the city centre because of the lack of transport connections, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, government police forces protect public schools from the threat of protest, and schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sabre's national animal is the Ronnie Pickering, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Sabre is ranked 101,880^th in the world and 1^st in Euravia for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 3,212.58 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
