The Republic of Screaming Saint is a massive, economically powerful nation, ruled by The Screaming Saint with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.522 billion 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Salvation. The average income tax rate is 96%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Tourism, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing industries.

Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over Screaming Saint, the government regularly hires contractors to construct high rise apartments, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, and the number of students attending university has reached a record high. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Screaming Saint's national animal is the Zerglings, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Drakim.

Screaming Saint is ranked 121st in 10000 Islands and 4,879th in the world for Largest Public Sector, scoring 27 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
