The Kingdom of Santa Pace is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by His Majesty the King of Santa Pace with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, national health service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 8.424 billion Santa Paceans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ulula. The average income tax rate is 95.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Santa Pacean economy, worth a remarkable 1,073 trillion Lire a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Basket Weaving, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 127,394 Lire, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The latest national park is visited by more sharks than people, military spending is on the increase, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and interest rates mysteriously drop whenever the CBSP Governor goes house hunting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Santa Pace's national animal is the Owl, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Santa Pace is ranked 21,016^th in the world and 252^nd in 10000 Islands for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 272.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
