The Kingdom of St Joseph is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Königin Cornelia die I von Warthington with an iron fist, and notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 12.133 billion St Josephians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Joseph. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish St Josephian economy, worth 366 trillion Reichskrones a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 30,195 Reichskrones, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, the nation's navy has been named the scourge of the seven thousand seas, and the government is avowedly secular. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Joseph's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

St Joseph is ranked 34,655th in the world and 15th in Deutschland for Largest Populations, with 12.1 billion capita.
