The Republic of Saujjekuadas is a huge, efficient nation, notable for its prohibition of alcohol, fear of technology, and punitive income tax rates. The devout population of 473 million Saujjekuadasians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 74.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Saujjekuadasian economy, worth 22.8 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, highly specialized black market in Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 48,150 Uʹrvvlõstts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Saying that someone looks a bit pale can be construed as hate speech, tumbleweeds are seen blowing through the nation's airspace, the delay between passed legislation and real world implementation is often a decade or longer, and re-education centers are being added to most prisons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saujjekuadas's national animal is the Reindeer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saujjekuadas is ranked 283,370th in the world and 8th in Luadastmaa Puppet Region for Most Secular, with 9.9 Atheism Rate.
