The Republic of Southern Ste Guat Cooction is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws. The hard-working, cynical population of 10.593 billion Southern Ste Guat Cooctionians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.7%.

The very strong Southern Ste Guat Cooctionian economy, worth 558 trillion dollars a year, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is 52,762 dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 181,016 per year while the poor average 11,287, a ratio of 16.0 to 1.

Crime is a problem. Southern Ste Guat Cooction's national animal is the beaver, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
