The Grand duchy of Saintlike island is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Grand Duke Thanos Verginaliou with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.535 billion Saintlike islandians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Nektarios. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Saintlike islandian economy, worth 145 trillion Sceptrons a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 94,703 Sceptrons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, health-conscious denizens drink their dogs' water, the Federal Council of Saintlike island has been announced as the new Head of State, and Greek Orthodoxy has been named as Saintlike island's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saintlike island's national animal is the two-headed eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Greek Orthodoxy.

Saintlike island is ranked 53,931^st in the world and 28^th in Avaldonia for Most Patriotic, with 25.9 flags saluted per person per day.
