The Federation of Saaksi Lake is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its daily referendums, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.316 billion Saaksi Lakeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 55.8%.

The strong Saaksi Lakean economy, worth 90.7 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 68,892 gambles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, pregnant hitchhikers with signs requesting rides to "competent care" are a common sight on Saaksi Lakean roads, and legislators toe the party line lest the Sergeant-at-Arms decide to conduct "truncheon practice" on the backbench. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saaksi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Saaksi Lake is ranked 208,266th in the world and 167th in Lakes in Finland for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 244.07 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
