The Sprout-growing Duchy of Santo Lat is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Duke with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, strictly enforced bedtime, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 14.694 billion Santo Latians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Healthcare, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sto Lat. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 42.9%.

The powerhouse Santo Latian economy, worth a remarkable 1,211 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 82,450 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.1 times as much as the poorest.

Commemoration of the Great Gatesville War costs almost as much as the war itself, literature classes frequently go on field trips to rock concerts, children are seen fighting in the playground for bread scraps that fall out of diamond-encrusted lunchboxes, and family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off. Crime is a serious problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Santo Lat's national animal is the moth, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Santo Lat is ranked 13,412th in the world and 2nd in Gatesville for Most Stationary, with 1,904.05487862632 days.
