The Dominion of Kingdom of Saint Paul is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by PM Tom Glengarry with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.041 billion Paulines are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Paul City. The average income tax rate is 22.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pauline economy, worth 121 trillion pound Paulines a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,547 pound Paulines, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Strange lights seen in the sky are officially regarded as weather balloons or hoaxes and nothing else, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, puppies given out free in marketing promotions are often tossed straight into the trash, and you need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kingdom of Saint Paul's national animal is the raven, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Kingdom of Saint Paul is ranked 61,332^nd in the world and 27^th in Africa for Largest Black Market, with 10.3 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
