The Republic of Sarventra is a titanic, safe nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 23.55 billion Sarventrans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 56.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but stagnant Sarventran economy, worth 431 trillion lire a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 18,293 lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Patriots insist that size does matter, a major religion has been named as Sarventra's national religion, even the most lowly council pen-pusher has the same political power as a senior minister, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sarventra's national animal is the salamander.

Sarventra is ranked 219,153^rd in the world and 28^th in Land for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 422.24 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
