The People's Republic of The Catholic Theocracy of Saint Padraig is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Father Séamus O'Maonaigh with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, national health service, and zero percent divorce rate. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 14.531 billion Catholic Theocracy of Saint Padraigians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Limerick. The average income tax rate is 92.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Catholic Theocracy of Saint Padraigian economy, worth a remarkable 1,623 trillion Punt Éireannaches a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 111,705 Punt Éireannaches, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Widow Twankey complains about being "cancelled", pet loving officers arrest citizens who don't give their dogs enough biscuits, bus ads propagandize causes ranging from sexual revolution to religious pogroms, and selfie stick use is a required Scout badge. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Catholic Theocracy of Saint Padraig's national animal is the Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholicism.

The Catholic Theocracy of Saint Padraig is ranked 132,263rd in the world and 4th in The Conservative Democracies for Most Stationary, with 243.84548977212 days.
