The Confederacy of Saint Hilley is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and enforced nudity. The hard-working population of 5.735 billion Saint Hilleyians 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Social Policy. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.8%.

The Saint Hilleyian economy, worth 317 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 55,403 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 7.2 times as much as the poorest.

The internet has been placed under government control, diaper ads feature vertically-challenged adults wearing bootees, raver DJ XStacy holds multiple medical degrees in chillaxing, and the children of Saint Hilley are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Saint Hilley's national animal is the sheep, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Hilley is ranked 141,272^nd in the world and 173^rd in Coalition of Crown Albatross for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
