The Republic of SAK691 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its smutty television, free-roaming dinosaurs, and soft-spoken computers. The hard-nosed population of 2.875 billion SAK691ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 31.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient SAK691ian economy, worth 138 trillion chips 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 a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 48,281 chips, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Acute politicians deride opposition members for being obtuse, anti-vaxxers claim that injected children are prone to psychotic breaks when they see the 'Queen of Diamonds' playing card, the working classes live and die on the fields of the farming communes, and SAK691ian Standard Vodka is the only drink that bars stock. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SAK691's national animal is the sloth, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SAK691 is ranked 263,539th in the world and 10,991st in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 6.19 average smiles per day.
