The Armed Republic of Sawhirius is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Micheal Thompson with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 10.161 billion Sawhiriusians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sawhirius City. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Sawhiriusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,500 trillion Shekels a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 147,636 Shekels, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, courtrooms can be a little sketchy, janitors and factory workers are often better educated than the bosses they work for, and the minority inevitably have their addenda vetoed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sawhirius's national animal is the Sawhiriun Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sawhirius is ranked 22,908^th in the world and 600^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 6,639.11 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
