The Queendom of Saint Von Artemis is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Isabeau Narcisse Labelle with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 1.018 billion Artemisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Angora. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Saint Von Artemisian economy, worth 59.7 trillion Praisis a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,660 Praisis, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Armed police are cracking down on untaxed collectable-card-trading in local junior schools, children who believe in the tooth fairy are frequently shipped off to Bigtopia, dynamite sales and concert audiences are booming, and Isabeau Narcisse Labelle has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Saint Von Artemis's national animal is the Chartreux, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Saint Von Artemis is ranked 253,854^th in the world and 1,122^nd in Europe for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,005.89 Standard Monetary Units.
