The Federal Empire of Saphirien is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Evileye with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 27.752 billion Saphirians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Trillgard. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saphirian economy, worth a remarkable 4,757 trillion Saphirian Golds a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 171,432 Saphirian Golds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Turnstile jumpers grow up to be tax cheats, bemused citizens are encouraged to sing foreign-language hymns of religions they have never heard of, third world countries are rich in "I Love Trillgard" t-shirts, and editorials that criticize the government are legally obligated to display the "pants on fire" warning. Crime is totally unknown. Saphirien's national animal is the Wyvern, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is the Saphirien Codex.

Saphirien is ranked 95,105th in the world and 813th in the Pacific for Most Stationary, with 476.39033399888 days.
