The Theocracy of Santa Republica Argentina is a large, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 73 million Santa Republica Argentinans are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 9.2%.

The very strong Santa Republica Argentinan economy, worth 5.64 trillion Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 77,246 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

The country behaves just like a group of independent provinces all stacked up under a trench coat, imitation is the sincerest form of felony, conductors wield diamond-encrusted batons to fit in with their freshly gilded surroundings, and 4-year-olds studying for their mathematics exams are anxious that they will be unemployable in adulthood if they fail. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Santa Republica Argentina's national animal is the Hornero, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Santa Republica Argentina is ranked 119,108^th in the world and 2,429^th in the South Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 77.78 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
