The Republic of Santa Cruz Pupfish is a massive, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 2.462 billion Santa Cruz Pupfishians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 14.8%.

The Santa Cruz Pupfishian economy, worth 118 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 48,174 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Santa Cruz Pupfish's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Santa Cruz Pupfish is ranked 130,519^th in the world and 43^rd in League of Christian Nations for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 73.48 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
