The Democratic Republic of Sabalt is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Scepter K with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.117 billion Sabaltarians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Septa. The average income tax rate is 84.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Sabaltian economy, worth a remarkable 1,598 trillion Munies 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Tourism, Uranium Mining, and Trout Farming. 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 an impressive 121,895 Munies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

No-one can foil the ambitions of Big Aluminium, Sabaltian novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about Scepter K, Scepter K's reputation is hard as nails, and nature reserves often contain artificial waterfalls and concrete paths. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sabalt's national animal is the Elephant, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Nomuraism.

Sabalt is ranked 136,879th in the world and 2,506th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 226.7103757386 days.
