The Republic of Satkk is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 463 million Satkkians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 74.1%.

The thriving Satkkian economy, worth 22.7 trillion Uʹrvvlõstts 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, and Retail. 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 49,063 Uʹrvvlõstts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.8 times as much as the poorest.

Sleeping on the job is recommended, scavengers with burlap sacks and shovels skulk around graveyards, priceless Maxtopian artwork can often be found in executive bathrooms, and more sidewalk is dedicated to animals than people. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Satkk's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Satkk is ranked 5,396th in the world and 1st in Luadastmaa Puppet Region for Most Secular, with 98.21 Atheism Rate.
