The Holy Empire of Saint Insmouth is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and frequent executions. The compassionate, devout population of 1.441 billion Saint Insmouthians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but stagnant Saint Insmouthian economy, worth 23.8 trillion krill koins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 16,503 krill koins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The only crimes that get investigated are doughnut heists, exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, unwary hikers climbing the bluffs of Mount Saint Insmouth City make great practice for foreign snipers, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Insmouth's national animal is the Krill, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Saint Insmouth is ranked 291,862nd in the world and 8th in Antraland for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -7.58 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
