The Democratic States of Saugeen Shores is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Zach with an even hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, otherworldly petting zoo, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 2.862 billion Saugeen Shoresians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Elgin. The average income tax rate is 75.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Saugeen Shoresian economy, worth 526 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 183,949 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, truth is often impossible to tell from fiction on the evening news, political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, and wars of expansion are described as "peacekeeping operations". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saugeen Shores's national animal is the Golden Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saugeen Shores is ranked 24,789th in the world and 819th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,161.82 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
