The People's Republic of Sarom is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its closed borders, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 443 million Saromians 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 Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 60.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Saromian economy, worth 28.4 trillion Mazons a year, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 64,145 Mazons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, hotels often double as quarantine zones, and nose plugs are the latest Saromian fashion accessory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sarom's national animal is the Auroch, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sarom is ranked 231,956th in the world and 160th in Britannia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -4.56 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
