The Woodhouse Sanctum of Sartorius is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, frequent executions, and enslaved workforce. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 30.597 billion Sartoriusians 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 relatively small government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, with Industry, Defense, and International Aid also on the agenda, while Welfare and Healthcare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.0%.

The thriving Sartoriusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,941 trillion $$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Cheese Exports, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,466 $$s, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 242,162 per year while the poor average 11,507, a ratio of 21.0 to 1.

The newest shade developed by Sartorius's dye industry has been dubbed 'Agent Orange', soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, and ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force. Sartorius's national animal is the swordfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Sartorius is ranked 102,623^rd in the world and 1^st in Nile for Safest, scoring 82.29 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
