The Theocracy of Sancti Sepulcri is a massive, safe nation, ruled by The Pope with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 1.243 billion Catholics 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Palazzo Della Rovere. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 25.2%.

The Catholic economy, worth 63.3 trillion Vatican Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,956 Vatican Euros, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

The government is buying children's books by the thousands, carefully-staged grief is displayed by The Pope after national disasters, houses and businesses are bulldozed to make way for ever-expanding cemeteries, and little girls are in tears as The Pope confiscates their pink princess ballgowns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sancti Sepulcri's national animal is the Lamb, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Sancti Sepulcri is ranked 274,665th in the world and 67th in Catholic for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -8.77 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
