The Oil Painted Joy of Saganye is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by a Neighbourly Scientist with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, cheerful population of 15.417 billion Saganyehilists are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mr Roger's Neighbourhood. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Saganyehilist economy, worth a remarkable 6,351 trillion kind words a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 411,997 kind words, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, every week is blindness awareness week, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saganye's national animal is the friendly critters Bob Ross adopted, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is sorry for the inconvenience.

Saganye is ranked 58th in the world and 1st in Mr Rogers Neighbourhood of Socialists for Safest, scoring 252.51 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
