The United Kingdom of Sagradus is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 382 million Sagradusians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 36.2%.

The very strong Sagradusian economy, worth 26.2 trillion Shekels a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 68,475 Shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Sniffer dogs are trained to follow clouds of fruity-smelling vapor, government-sponsored gallows are being erected by Violetist temples, children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night, and genocide is seen as a topic best avoided in history lessons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sagradus's national animal is the Hippogriff, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Sagradus is ranked 52,638^th in the world and 80^th in Novo Brasil for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 80.08 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
