The Frequently Inebriated Nation of Saugeen is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Leader with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 45.454 billion Saugeenians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, with Industry, Administration, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maitland. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Saugeenian economy, worth an astonishing 23,382 trillion babies a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 514,420 babies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is committed to nuclear rearmament, frat-house partying has become the national pastime, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, and centuries-old legal documents detailing agnatic-cognatic gavelkind succession are being dusted off again. Crime is totally unknown. Saugeen's national animal is the squirrel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saugeen is ranked 52,947^th in the world and 1^st in City Ankh Morpork for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,704.18 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
