The Federation of Saaksjarvi Lake is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 1.29 billion Saaksjarvi Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 60.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Saaksjarvi Lakean economy, worth 92.9 trillion gambles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 72,030 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, toddler groups have taken over local libraries, radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass, and citizens are expected to be proficient in at least five languages. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saaksjarvi Lake's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saaksjarvi Lake is ranked 70,977th in the world and 43rd in Lakes in Finland for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 60.67 Effective Tax Rate.
