The State of Sante Giovanni is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons and complete lack of public education. The hard-working, cynical population of 19.583 billion Sante Giovannians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, well-organized government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Welfare, with Industry and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Douglas City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The thriving Sante Giovannian economy, worth 720 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Average income is 36,814 betales, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 106,619 per year while the poor average 10,073, a ratio of 10.6 to 1.

Elections have been outlawed, all tariffs have been abolished, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, and Sante Giovanni has designated Douglas City as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Sante Giovanni's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Sante Giovanni is ranked 88,268^th in the world and 1^st in Bologna for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,474.15 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
