The People's Republic of The Catholic Theocracy of Saint Padraig is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Father Séamus O'Maonaigh with an even hand, and remarkable for its national health service, triple-decker prams, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 14.71 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.

Average income is an impressive 112,025 Punt Éireannaches, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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.
