The Very Large Safari Park of Los Santos is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sam with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, irreverence towards religion, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 35.246 billion Los Santosians 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, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Industry, Education, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Small Village. The average income tax rate is 9.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Los Santosian economy, worth an astonishing 22,601 trillion Planet Sized Wine Gums a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 641,258 Planet Sized Wine Gums, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Builders spend more time negotiating "tasteful architecture" than on actual construction, the might of the entire Los Santosian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and the fines for getting caught with the wrong recipe book can force Los Santosians into bankruptcy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Los Santos's national animal is the Batman, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Toastology.

Los Santos is ranked 206,041^st in the world and 7^th in Nintendo for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring -97.98 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
