The Democratic States of Saugeen Shores is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Zach with an even hand, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful population of 2.803 billion Saugeen Shoresians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Elgin. The average income tax rate is 75.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saugeen Shoresian economy, worth 516 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 184,273 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Dealers go from pushing drugs to pushing up daisies, the regional delicacy of chocolate bombes is deadlier than an unexploded bomb, the easiest method of escaping from prison is to take singing lessons, and one can wake up in Saugeen Shores and have breakfast in Bigtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saugeen Shores's national animal is the Golden Retriever, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saugeen Shores is ranked 12,666^th in the world and 612^th in The North Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 29.16 average smiles per day.
