The Very Large Safari Park of Los Santos is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sam with an iron fist, and notable for its public floggings, free-roaming dinosaurs, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 43.321 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 Law & Order also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Small Village. The average income tax rate is 96.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Los Santosian economy, worth an astonishing 43,760 trillion Planet Sized Wine Gums a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is a breathtaking 1,010,150 Planet Sized Wine Gums, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,218,049 per year while the poor average 241,229, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Cat memes without alt text are now illegal, prison walls have had to be modified to keep parkour-trained criminals from escaping, a lot of number one hits are straight cover versions, and Sam's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts. 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 296,595^th in the world and 5^th in Nintendo for Nicest Citizens, with 0.03 average smiles per day.
