The Federation of New Sasi is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, frequent executions, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.421 billion Sasis are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient New Sasi economy, worth 796 trillion kronor a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 180,232 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The question "please would you...?" is usually laden with passive aggression, ill and injured visitors in New Sasi have to walk it off until they return home, no-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, and the only soporific permitted during sermons is the preacher's voice. Crime is totally unknown. New Sasi's national animal is the dolphin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Atheism.

New Sasi is ranked 52,497^th in the world and 610^th in Europe for Safest, scoring 102.18 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
