The People's Republic of Saint Scarlett is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Veronica Trey Hammond Jr with a fair hand, and remarkable for its frequent executions, restrictive gun laws, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.87 billion Saitanics are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Mon Michelle. The average income tax rate is 70.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Saitanic economy, worth 181 trillion Kroner a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Soda Sales, and Information Technology. Average income is 47,019 Kroner, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snap elections are called over every minor impasse, the big red machine has ground to a halt, school lockers are filled with fancy underwear, and a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Scarlett's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is No Official Religion.

Saint Scarlett is ranked 232,053^rd in the world and 738^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -5.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
