The Empire of Saint-Dauphin is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Empress Helena with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The democratic population of 1.436 billion Dauphinois have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Administration, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gaia. The average income tax rate is 42.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dauphinois economy, worth 169 trillion Dauphins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,910 Dauphins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government keeps introducing new foreign species to combat the previous ones it has introduced, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, the Fashion Channel can only be viewed on widescreen TVs, and it ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Saint-Dauphin. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint-Dauphin's national animal is the Owl, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Laicism.

Saint-Dauphin is ranked 12,319^th in the world and 562^nd in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 118.59 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
