The Protectorate of Saterno is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, hard-working population of 3.946 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Equality, and Defence. The average income tax rate is 90%, and even higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options, Animal Liberationists are regularly jailed, the children of Saterno are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is moderate, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Saterno's national animal is the eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Saternoi Franc.
