Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Dominion of Good Saint George is a colossal, devout nation, remarkable for its unlimited-speed roads. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 9.248 billion are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

There is no government in the normal sense of the word; however, a small group of community-minded, pro-business individuals juggles the competing demands of Religion & Spirituality, Law & Order, and Commerce. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining industries.

The government is seen to favor Catholics, all artwork is carefully screened for offensive material, drunk drivers are sentenced to death, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. Crime is a problem. Good Saint George's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the pound.

Good Saint George is ranked 11th in Conservative Paradise and 7,832nd in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 4 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
