The Republic of -San Cristobal- is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Antonieta Alvarez with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and national health service. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 17.108 billion Cristobalians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of the San Cristobal Capital District. The average income tax rate is 4.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Cristobalian economy, worth a remarkable 3,614 trillion Cristobalian dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 211,299 Cristobalian dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, the government is continually probing the galaxy in search of alien life, the number of students attending university has reached a record high, and children are raised bilingual from an early age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. -San Cristobal-'s national animal is the Cristobalian parakeet, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

-San Cristobal- is ranked 3,972^nd in the world and 8^th in Osakaland for Least Corrupt Governments, with 95.37 percentage of bribes refused.
