The United Socialist States of Satima is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Yuri Dyatlov with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.092 billion Satimen enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The enormous, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Administration, Healthcare, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Anandae. The average income tax rate is 92.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Satiman economy, worth 524 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Trout Farming, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 128,297 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Politicians tend to speak more loudly and slowly these days, the children of Satima are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, gossip magazines have pictures of Yuri Dyatlov sunbathing on the beach with political rivals, and politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Satima's national animal is the hedgehog, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Satima is ranked 97,424th in the world and 12th in Soviet Democracy for Most Extreme, scoring 19.74 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
