The Most Serene Republic of Sancta Sedes I is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 22.145 billion Sancta Sedes Iians 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 Law & Order, Spirituality, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Sancta Sedes Iian economy, worth 435 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Pizza Delivery, Trout Farming, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 19,662 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is a clear-cut case of tyranny by majority, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, major cities are suffering under water rationing, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sancta Sedes I's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sancta Sedes I is ranked 222,363^rd in the world and 5^th in Vatican II for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 933.75 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
