The Democratic States of Saugeen Shores is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zach with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, otherworldly petting zoo, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 2.935 billion Saugeen Shoresians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Elgin. The average income tax rate is 77.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saugeen Shoresian economy, worth 534 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 181,977 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, the weather report is the prisoners' favourite programme, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, and t-shirts displaying a photo of Zach performing the Full-Monty are selling out. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saugeen Shores's national animal is the Golden Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saugeen Shores is ranked 33,034^th in the world and 809^th in The North Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 36.45 flags saluted per person per day.
