The Matriarchy of Sgaana is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Pod of the Immortal 8 Matriarch Orca with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, national health service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.587 billion Orca are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Abundant Waters of Southern Oceans. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Giga-Pod economy, worth 370 trillion Salmonidaes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 103,179 Salmonidaes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military information leaks are **REDACTED** by **REDACTED** in **REDACTED**, government officials frown on anything more technologically advanced than an abacus, reporters who negatively comment on politicians' haircuts are cut from the news, and people faint regularly as they get stuck with compulsory vaccinations. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sgaana's national animal is the Captive Human Trapped in a Bathtub, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Imprisoning Humans in their Own Bathtubs.

Sgaana is ranked 230,506^th in the world and 4,353^rd in the South Pacific for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 48.04 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
