The Confederacy of Saint Ignis is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Premier Anatole Nikolai Isaev with an even hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, keen interest in outer space, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.735 billion Saint Ignisi enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lucis. The average income tax rate is 97.3%.

The all-consuming Saint Ignisi economy, worth a remarkable 1,129 trillion Ignis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 116,023 Ignis, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Saint Ignisi Babysitters Club has proven to be a huge relief to stressed-out parents across the nation, the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene, the words 'private' and 'enterprise' must never appear in the same sentence, and nude art is becoming wildly popular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Ignis's national animal is the Ignisi Red Fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Saint Ignis is ranked 121,674^th in the world and 650^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 2,570.24 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
