The Queendom of Saint Von Artemis is a large, safe nation, renowned for its public floggings, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 94 million Artemisians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 36.6%.

The thriving Saint Von Artemisian economy, worth 6.56 trillion Praisis a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is 69,825 Praisis, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 401,317 per year while the poor average 5,836, a ratio of 68.8 to 1.

Those who cut young children are told to cut it out, Maxtopians are both starving and giddy after the Saint Von Artemisian military unleashed its biological weapons, the richest individuals apparently buy nothing but noodles and toilet paper, and the National Art Gallery's newest exhibit is the 500-year-old Luna Lisa. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Von Artemis's national animal is the Chartreux, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Von Artemis is ranked 42,470^th in the world and 592^nd in Europe for Most Beautiful Environments, with 729.13 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
