The Federation of Saint Nations is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by President Liam with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, daily referendums, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.684 billion Saintians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saintberg. The average income tax rate is 91.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saint Nationsian economy, worth 718 trillion Saint Crowns a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 153,357 Saint Crowns, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mums always ask their three-year-olds for permission before hugging them, listless juries are assembled for the simplest of court cases, Jennifer Government is a bestseller, and blind students are at a disadvantage now that test papers printed in braille have been discontinued. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Nations's national animal is the Mountain Bluebird, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Saint Nations is ranked 15,544th in the world and 189th in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 93.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
