The Confederacy of Saorysa is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 522 million Saorysians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Evekan. The average income tax rate is 72.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Saorysian economy, worth 40.8 trillion khanos a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,118 khanos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

CEOs can't hear the term 'Fire Sale' without bursting into tears, military spending is on the increase, 'A is for Annulment' is a popular children's song, and any body part that can be cut off a person is no longer considered to be their property. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saorysa's national animal is the wild horse, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saorysa is ranked 11,191^st in the world and 49^th in Starlight for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 4,307.14 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
