The People's Republic of Saint Maia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Yan Lyft with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, infamous sell-swords, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.346 billion Saint Maians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cosmopolitansk. The average income tax rate is 53.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Saint Maian economy, worth 79.3 trillion Lyfts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,916 Lyfts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Anti-tourism militias patrol the borders, kids building model rockets in their backyard are grounded by Space Agency Rangers, private pharmacies close down as medicinal drugs are given away freely by the government, and the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (Saint Maia has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Maia's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Supreme Leader Personality Cult.

Saint Maia is ranked 57,363^rd in the world and 2^nd in Free Socialist Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 72.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
