The Bannorn of Saath is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Bann Illario vos Nesterah with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 9.023 billion Saathians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tolos. The average income tax rate is 14.9%.

The Saathian economy, worth 419 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 46,480 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Private law firms are unheard of, they say that Saathians made a dessert and called it peace, nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, and the nation is famous for having one of the world's largest mule hunting institutions. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saath's national animal is the mule, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Maumiqism.

Saath is ranked 175,114th in the world and 15th in Ulthos for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 144.31 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
