The Tsardom of Santa Lucija is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Grand Duke Fyodor with an even hand, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 20.555 billion Santa Lucijans are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.
The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Petersburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 24.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Santa Lucijan economy, worth a remarkable 3,555 trillion Rubles a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 172,961 Rubles, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 748,133 per year while the poor average 25,432, a ratio of 29.4 to 1.
The fattest folk in Santa Lucija look to be the happiest ones, visitors to Self-Sufficiency National Park who ask for trail maps are handed a pen and a blank sheet of paper, economics is a shrinking field, and global anti-terrorist organisations strongly suspect Santa Lucija of supplying extremist groups. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Santa Lucija's national animal is the Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Santa Lucija is ranked 9,678th in the world and 3rd in Empire of Andrew for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 6,970.26 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
