The Principality of Maison Saint-Pierre is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Prince Reece Saint-Pierre with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.44 billion Pierrese enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Pierre. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pierrese economy, worth a remarkable 1,202 trillion Thalers a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,368 Thalers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can represent some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time, Saint-Pierre has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", and the government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Maison Saint-Pierre's national animal is the Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholicism.

Maison Saint-Pierre is ranked 20,534^th in the world and 5^th in The Allied Republics for Lowest Crime Rates, with 89.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
