The Arcade Game of Sacagawea is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sacagawea with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, anti-smoking policies, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.771 billion Sacagaweans 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Willis. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Sacagawean economy, worth 815 trillion livers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 141,383 livers, with the richest citizens earning 9.8 times as much as the poorest.

Disaster relief budgets are growing like wildfire, military strategists are questioning the wisdom of subsidizing the economies of sworn enemies, families are only permitted to have one child, and government agents scour baking periodicals for subversive recipes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sacagawea's national animal is the humpback whale, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Coolism.

Sacagawea is ranked 32,669^th in the world and 37^th in The Funian Puppet Region for Largest Governments, scoring 26.27 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
