The Federation of Sapsojarvet Lake is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its unlimited-speed roads, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 1.15 billion Sapsojarvet Lakeans are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 57.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Sapsojarvet Lakean economy, worth 67.0 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 broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Average income is 58,285 gambles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the government mails weekly updates on the new anti-junk mail laws to every citizen, ministers are now allowed to put suggestions in the governmental suggestion box, and newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sapsojarvet Lake's national animal is the gamble, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Sapsojarvet Lake is ranked 84,209th in the world and 128th in Lakes in Finland for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 4,294.28 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
