The Most Serene Republic of New San Antonio is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.962 billion New San Antonioans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 72.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped New San Antonioan economy, worth 141 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 28,478 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political spontaneity takes a lot of planning, the government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, and five-hundred-twenty-five-thousand-six-hundred revivals is how theatre-goers measure a year. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New San Antonio's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New San Antonio is ranked 21,681^st in the world and 42^nd in The League for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 2,194.39 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
